What Is A Trauma Kit, Also Known As a Jump Bag?

As a trained or soon to be trained EMT, you might want to consider owning your own jump bag. A jump bag, also known as a trauma bag or EMT bag is exactly what it sounds like. It is a bag or pouch that contains equipment that is used to treat traumatic injuries.

This is a required piece of equipment on an ambulance and usually contains items that are needed to stabilize a patient till the crew can load them into the ambulance and continue treatment. Being a skilled provider, it is not a bad idea to have a trauma kit of your own.

Reasons to Carry or Keep a Personal Trauma Kit /Jump Bag

There are many reasons to carry a trauma kit either in your vehicle or around your dwelling. Some EMTs and Paramedics actually work freelance, providing medical care in different industries as a private contractor. An example of this is working as a set medic on a movie set.

A set medic is responsible for emergency response and first aid on a set until 911 can be called. As a private contractor or even a union medic, the responder is still responsible to stock their own trauma response bag. In those cases, they will want a full kit.

Other people like to keep a kit in their vehicle in case they encounter an emergency. A responder might not need a professional level kit but they might want to keep something better than a first aid kit.

Camping and outdoor adventures are fun with the family and as a trained EMT or Paramedic, if someone does get injured usually you will be the one turned to in this time of need.

Once again, a personal EMT bag would be a boon here. There are kits that are portable enough to carry in a backpack and still contain enough supplies to treat most injuries.

While it is possible to assemble your own jump bag, it can be more convenient to purchase an already assembled kit. We will detail the jump bag assembly later in this article.

The 10 Best Trauma Kits and Jump Bags for EMT’s and Paramedics in 2021

This is a list in no particular order of some of the best fully stocked trauma bags. These jump bags should be considered on the basis of need.

  • Are you a private contractor that needs a professional level EMT bag? Consider one of the fully assembled kits.
  • Do you just want something to carry in a vehicle just in case? There are kits for that too.
  • Looking for a bag that is a level above a simple first aid kit? There are products on this list that will fit that need.

As always, these are recommendations and readers should consult their local and state laws in regard to what they are allowed to carry and how much aid they can offer and still be protected by Good Samaritan Laws.

This is a trauma bag designed with the tactical medic in mind. The Lightning X Tactical Trauma Backpack includes the supplies needed to render aid in just about any environment. Stocked inside of a backpack, this kit is easily portable and accessible.

Tactical EMS differs from normal EMS in that the medic is there to support a tactical team. Usually, this team will consist of a law enforcement entity such as a SWAT team.

This kit was assembled with these factors in mind. The trauma kit comes in a tactical backpack complete with a hydration bladder.

During standbys, a situation can develop rapidly, and to have access to a hydration bladder included with this kit means that the rescuer can remain hydrated during extended scenarios.

This kit is also perfect for non-tactical medics that need an easy to carry trauma bag while they work events with large crowds such as inside sports venues.

This tactical trauma bag comes with two small and two large grab-n-go pouches with transparent windows plus two foam-lined organizers with six dividers, all of which are completely removable or interchangeable within the main compartment.

4. Adventure Medical Kits Trauma Pak with QuikClot

Adventure Medical Kits Trauma Pak First Aid Kit with QuikClot Sponge

 

This trauma pack is for one thing. It stops bleeds. The Adventure Medical Kits: Trauma Pak with QuikClot is not for minor lacerations. This pack is purposely assembled to stop heavy traumatic bleeds.

QuickClot was developed for combat medics to stop the bleeding when a soldier was wounded in combat and functions by absorbing water and blood at a rapid pace, stopping the injury from bleeding.

This is not a complete medical kit but is worth mentioning as an addition to any trauma bag. The price point for this life-saving kit is one of the lowest on this list.

Given that about 30% of all trauma-related deaths are from hypovolemic shock (blood loss), this trauma kit should be a must-have for any house with or without a complete first aid bag.

It is better to not need this and have it than need this medical kit and not have it.

This kit contains: 1 QuikClot Sponge, A 5″x8″ Trauma Pad, 1 Pair of Nitrile Medical Gloves, Duct Tape, 1 Triangular Bandage, 1 4″x4″ Gause Bandage, 1 2″x2″ Gause Bandages, 1 Conforming Gause Bandage 3″, Antiseptic Wipes, 1 resealable Bio-Hazard Bag

This tactical trauma kit provides easy access to a tourniquet, splint, and an Israeli compression bandage in an easy to access kit. The Delta Provision Co. Tactical Medical Trauma Tool Kit is an excellent addition to any trauma kit.

Like the above-mentioned kit, the tactical trauma kit is not a complete trauma kit, but a specialized toolset to handle the serious injury.

The pouch folds out and gives easy access to its contents, the pouch itself is also designed to be compatible with MOLLE systems.

Many backpacks that hikers use, for example, have MOLLE integrated with them. This kit is a perfect and quick addition to such bags and provides easy access to important trauma care equipment.

Pros

  • Compact
  • Very easy to access
  • MOLLE integration
  • Specialized for the care of bleeds and bone fractures

Render Aid But Be Safe

As a trained provider EMTs and Paramedics will encounter injury outside of their jobs. While not legally required to act, most of us got into this field to help people and render aid when needed. If you chose to keep a fully stocked trauma kit remember to keep in mind your local laws.

Do not act in a manner that will endanger yourself, on duty rescuers do not need another patient. Remember your scene safety at all times. Having possession of a trauma kit does not replace the need to seek professional medical intervention. Whether you are helping yourself or another, always seek an Emergency Room for any serious injury.
