Openhouse First Aid Kit

Description

The Openhouse First Aid Kit is a guided first aid system designed to make emergency equipment faster, clearer and easier to use when every second matters.

Unlike traditional first aid kits where equipment is stored together in one compartment, the OH FAK separates equipment into four colour-coded emergency pouches, allowing the user to quickly identify the correct equipment for the situation in front of them.

A clear decision guide inside the main bag helps the user assess the situation and directs them to the appropriate pouch:

Red – BLEED

For severe bleeding and major trauma.

Contains:

• Tourniquet
• Trauma dressing
• Haemostatic dressing

Yellow – HEART

For an unresponsive casualty who is not breathing normally or where cardiac arrest is suspected.

Contains:

• CPR face shield
• Razor
• Reliwipe (10)
• Pocket AED when selected with the defibrillator option

Blue – BURNS

For burns and scalds.

Contains:

• Burn dressing (3)
• Water

Green – GENERAL

For minor injuries and general first aid.

Contains:

• Assorted plasters (100)
• Sterile dressing
• Triangular bandage
• Safety pins (6)
• Instant ice pack
• Saline pods (3)

The kit also includes protective gloves (2) and trauma shears, positioned separately for quick access.

Clear guidance when it matters most

Each pouch features its own step-by-step written instructions, helping users understand what equipment to use and what action to take.

Additional QR-linked video guidance is also available inside the pouches, providing further support when required. The main bag includes a simple visual decision guide to help the user quickly determine whether they should access the:

• BLEED pouch
• HEART pouch
• BURNS pouch
• GENERAL pouch

The result is a first aid system designed not simply to store medical equipment, but to help someone find it, understand it and use it under pressure.
