Frequently asked questions

What is in a Stop the Bleed kit?

A Stop the Bleed kit contains a CAT tourniquet, pressure dressings (pressure bandage or equivalent), combat gauze or hemostatic gauze, nitrile gloves, trauma shears, and usage instructions. Kits are modeled on the national Stop the Bleed campaign by the American College of Surgeons.

Do I need Stop the Bleed training to use a bleeding control kit?

Not legally, but training is strongly recommended. Free or low-cost Stop the Bleed training is offered nationwide through the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma. A 90-minute course teaches pressure, wound packing, and tourniquet application.

Are bleeding control kits required in schools by state law?

Yes, in some states. Check your state education code for current requirements.

How many bleeding control kits should a school have?

Best practice is one kit per floor at a minimum, plus additional kits near high-risk areas (athletic fields, shop classes, chemistry labs, and cafeterias). Some guidance frameworks recommend kits be accessible within 3–4 minutes of any location.

Where should bleeding control kits be mounted in a school?

Mount kits next to AEDs in hallways or main offices for fast access. Each kit should be visible, labeled, and unlocked so any adult can grab and use it during an emergency.

Do the tourniquets in the kit expire?

Yes. Elastic components in tourniquets degrade over time. Replace CAT tourniquets every 5 years or sooner if exposed to heat or UV. Training tourniquets are separate and should never be used on a real patient.

Can teachers use a CAT tourniquet on a student?

Yes. Civilian adults can legally apply a tourniquet to any person with life-threatening limb bleeding. Good Samaritan laws protect responders acting in good faith. Training through Stop the Bleed is strongly encouraged.
