The Well Armed Woman Introduces 4 First Aid Kits

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – April 20, 2017 – The Well Armed Woman (TWAW) recently released a new product line of 4 first aid kits. Carrie Lightfoot, CEO of TWAW, worked with Glen Stilson, of Independence Training, to design 4 first aid kits that range from boo boos to battlefield wounds. Stilson relied upon his team of instructors and their combined knowledge of battlefield medicine, wilderness first response, search/rescue, civilian fire and emergency medical services and matched it with the highest quality, field tested products to create a broad range of kits.

“Being a well-armed woman is about so much more than a gun. It’s about being prepared and situationally aware and being ready to act in any situation. We carry a firearm because we care about ourselves, our loved ones and others, so we wanted to introduce a full-line of first aid gear so that we can be ready for anything,” said Lightfoot.

4 First Aid Kits

• The Boo Boo Kit contains Band-Aids, medications and creams in a small case that fits easily in a tote bag or large purse. Stilson believes it is essential to keep your basic first aid kit supplies separate from a trauma kit. MSRP: $13.99

• The PFAK (pouch first aid kit) comes with straps on the back so it can be mounted to a belt or equipment. It also includes two front straps for a light source and extra tourniquet. The main kit includes components to stop bleeding and to start breathing. MSRP: $109.99
• The AFAK (ankle first aid kit) can be strapped to an ankle or arm. Like the PFAK, it includes the necessary components to stop bleeding and start breathing. MSRP: $119.99

• The IFAK (individual first aid kit) is a trauma kit packed into a high-visibility, waterproof SeaHorse hard case. Contents include a Combat Application Tourniquet (CAT), two emergency bandages, rolled gauze, hemostatic blood clotting gauze, trauma shears, medical utility tape, set of occlusive seals, emergency blanket and nitrile gloves. MSRP: $149.99

All kits are offered at TWAW’s website, http://thewellarmedwoman.com/range-supplies/first-aid-kits.

Stilson and Lightfoot strongly recommend first-aid training to learn to use the various components of trauma kits and are compiling a diverse offering of articles and videos to support first aid education. The first of which is this introductory video at YouTube.

During the month of April, all proceeds of sales of the first aid kits will be donated to TWAW Shooting Chapters, a 501(c)3 non-profit to supply each of the 350 chapters across the US with an IFAK trauma kit.
