The Lifesystems Mountain First Aid Kit includes a comprehensive range of materials to enable the delivery of effective first-aid assistance in the event of an accident at altitude when the remote location means that any professional medical care is very unlikely to be available even within a few hours of the incident occurring.
This means that the first aid kit needs to be very carefully compiled to be able to cater for as many potential scenarios as possible within obvious limitations of medical expertise.
To help Lifesystems compile the contents of this Mountain First Aid Kit, they consulted expedition doctor Hugh Montgomery and members of the British Special Forces medical team.
The result is a comprehensive roster of equipment including a range of bandages, tapes, dressings and plasters as well as equipment for the first aider including scissors, shears, tweezers, a thermometer and two pairs of vinyl gloves.
