Wall-Mounted Bleed Control Cabinet — Public Access Bystander Kit
When a serious bleeding emergency happens, the first few minutes determine the outcome. This wall-mounted bleed control cabinet keeps a complete bystander kit visible, protected, and ready to grab — no keys, no searching, no delay. It is designed for any workplace, school, shopping centre, event venue, or transport hub where trained first aiders may not be the first on scene.
Why This Kit Works for Bystanders
Most bleed control kits are built around a tourniquet — a device that requires correct technique, correct placement, and correct tension to work. The Public Access Bystander Bleed Control Kit takes a different approach. The centrepiece is the Slishman Pressure Wrap, a haemorrhage control device that applies effective circumferential limb pressure without any of the technique a tourniquet demands. That means anyone — a receptionist, a teacher, a parent, a bystander with no first aid background — can use it effectively under pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Slishman Pressure Wrap?
The Slishman Pressure Wrap is a haemorrhage control device designed to apply effective circumferential pressure to a bleeding limb. Unlike a tourniquet, it does not require the user to achieve a precise tension or follow a multi-step technique — making it the most accessible limb haemorrhage control option available for untrained bystanders.
What is the difference between a bystander bleed kit and an advanced bleed kit?
An advanced bleed kit includes a tourniquet, chest seal, and haemostatic gauze — tools that deliver greater clinical capability but require training to use correctly. A bystander kit uses the Slishman Pressure Wrap and a civilian pressure bandage, which are highly effective without prior instruction. Both serve a critical role; the bystander kit is the right choice for public access locations where trained personnel are not guaranteed to be on scene.
Do I need training to use a public access bleed control kit?
No certification is required. The included Bleed Control Instructions Card is written for people with no first aid background. Familiarising your team with the contents in advance — even informally — improves response speed and confidence. MyMedEquip recommends pairing this cabinet with a Stop the Bleed awareness session where possible.
