Solo Chainsaw Trauma Kit

Containing the most effective self-aid tools available to address severe bleeding, the Solo Kit is a low-profile, belt-mounted Chainsaw Trauma Kit designed for one-handed operation under extreme stress.

The kit is intended to be mounted and left attached to the belt of chainsaw chaps or an arborist’s saddle, allowing quick access to lifesaving components when needed without interfering with cutting activities. Each component is carefully selected to provide effective care while remaining lightweight and minimizing bulk.

The components are housed in Forest Safety Products' exclusive Chainsaw Trauma Pouch with a rapid-access strap. Now available with two mounting options—either the AIMS or MOLLE attachment systems—both provide secure attachment to a variety of platforms.

Weighing only about half a pound and taking up just 4 inches of belt space, its features include:

• Made in the USA
• Safety Orange - There’s no question the purpose of the kit in bright safety orange, differentiating it from other tool pouches that may be on your chaps.
• 1000d Cordura Construction - Easily withstands everything the forest throws at it.
• Large  D-Ring - Easily grabbed even with gloved hands. One pull brings the lifesaving tourniquet to where you can quickly put it to use.
• Elastic opening - keeps out sawdust and debris.
• Sewn cross designating it as medical supplies.
• Velcro detachable rapid access strap– allows you to pull the contents free of the pouch for easy access if needed.

The contents of the Solo Kit Include

1 FOREST SAFETY PRODUCTS Chainsaw Trauma Case with Rapid Access Ribbon.

1 North American Rescue Combat Application Tourniquet Gen7 Orange: Since its combat introduction by the U.S. Army in 2005, the Combat Application Tourniquet – a true one-handed tourniquet – has decreased the mortality rate due to extreme exsanguination by 85%. The U.S. Army Institute of Research deemed it to be 100% effective.

1 QuikClot Advanced Clotting Gauze 3" x 4': Tested and proven through years of combat use by the U.S. Military, QuikClot can be depended on to save time when every second counts. The hemostatic gauze works on contact to stop bleeding by accelerating your body’s natural clotting process, clotting blood five times faster. This pack contains one sterile 4 foot clotting gauze impregnated with kaolin, a naturally-occurring mineral proven to be effective as a hemostatic agent. Inorganic and inert, kaolin is non-allergenic, making it safe and effective to use. QuikClot’s extremely absorbent gauze is flexible and pliable, easily contouring to wounds.

1 Mini Compression Bandage: The Mini Compression Bandage provides a fast, effective tool for many kinds of traumas and injuries (particularly those involving arterial bleeding in extremities). Manufactured with a 4 x 6 inch non-adherent pad with a 42 in. elastic bandage. It has both hook & loop as well as a sturdy C-Clip closure to hold the dressing in place. The bandage is sterile unless opened or damaged.
