Description
The product identified by the code SB51048 is TrueClot Blood Simulant Concentrate. This is a highly realistic simulated blood designed specifically for advanced hemorrhage control training. The half-gallon (64 oz.) container of concentrate is mixed with water to create one full gallon of simulation-ready blood.
Key Features and Properties:
Realistic Clotting Action: The defining feature of TrueClot is its ability to form realistic, simulated blood clots. This clotting action occurs when the blood simulant comes into contact with TrueClot Simulated Hemostatic Dressings or when mixed with TrueClot Clotting Solution. This allows trainees to accurately simulate wound packing and the application of hemostatic agents.
Visual Accuracy: The simulant is carefully formulated to have the color, opacity, and flow characteristics of real human blood, providing a more immersive and effective training experience.
Concentrated Formula: The half-gallon concentrate format is economical and reduces shipping weight and storage space. It is easily mixed with 64 oz. of deionized or tap water to create one gallon of usable product.
Long Shelf Life: TrueClot has a long shelf life, both in its concentrated form and after being mixed with water, making it a reliable training supply.
Safe and Easy to Clean: The fluid is non-toxic, non-biological, and is safe for use with training manikins and on human skin for moulage purposes. It can be easily cleaned from most surfaces with soap and water, although it may stain some fabrics. After training, it can be disposed of in standard trash.
Intended Use:
TrueClot Blood Simulant is designed for high-fidelity trauma and hemorrhage control training scenarios. Its primary use is in conjunction with wound packing trainers and task trainers to teach and assess skills in:
Wound Packing: Packing simulated injuries with gauze to control bleeding.
Hemostatic Dressing Application: Using specialized dressings that cause the blood simulant to clot, mimicking the action of real hemostatic agents.
Tourniquet Application: Enhancing realism in scenarios where tourniquets are used to stop massive hemorrhage.
Moulage: Applying to live actors or manikins to simulate injuries for mass casualty incident (MCI) drills and other emergency response exercises.
It provides a critical level of realism that cannot be achieved with simple dyed water or non-clotting blood simulants, making it a staple for military, law enforcement, EMS, and hospital training programs.
