Bob Cooper Snakebite and Venomous Creatures First Aid Kit

In Australia we have around 170 species of snakes including sea snakes and burrowing snakes, 30 of which are considered to have life-threatening venom. Bob believes the most effective first aid treatment for venomous snakes and many creatures is the pressure and immobilisation technique.

Unlike many first aid kits that contain non-elastic crepe bandages, this kit has 10 cm compression bandages that can maintain the correct pressure and will remain tight during transport of the victim. Three bandages are necessary to apply pressure to an adult males leg.

The included first aid sheet can equip you with the know-how to handle bites and stings from the following deadly Australian creatures: land, sea and burrowing snakes, funnel web spiders, blue ringed octopus, and cone shells.

A must have in all first aid kits, backpacks and glove boxes. Ideal for reptile handlers and bush walkers alike.

• Contains 10 cm compression bandages

• Three bandages are necessary to apply pressure to an adult male’s leg

• First aid booklet with information on treating bites and stings from snakes, funnel web spiders, Blue-ringed octopus, and cone shells
