SURVIVAL Snake Bite First Aid Kit

About the Snake Bite First Aid Kit

The SURVIVAL Snake Bite First Aid Kit is built for travel to regions where venomous snakes are part of the landscape: Australia, Southeast Asia, Africa and the Americas. Out on the track, help can be a long way off. The kit is built around the SMART pressure bandage, which shows you exactly how much pressure you are applying, so you can carry out pressure immobilisation correctly even under stress.

Key features

• SMART pressure bandages with tension indicator: rectangles become squares at the correct pressure
• Splint to immobilise the bitten limb
• Step-by-step bite instruction card and CPR guidance
• Colour-coded layout for the fastest response in an emergency
• Compact and light (555 g), fits easily in your backpack
• Sturdy MOLLE webbing to attach the kit anywhere
• 600D Oxford polyester bag, water-resistant and easy to clean

Who it's for

Travellers, expats, overlanders and field workers heading to snake country outside Europe. Also for anyone who works or hikes where a bite from a venomous snake or spider is a real risk, and where medical help is hours rather than minutes away.

Good to know if you are based in Europe

Pressure immobilisation is the protocol for snakes whose venom travels through the lymphatic system, which is why it is standard practice in Australia. First aid guidance for the European adder is different: keep the person still and calm, do not apply a pressure bandage, and call the emergency services. Always follow the first aid guidance that applies in the country you are in.
