Hey guys, wife is a first year 6th grade teacher. The district does some basic stop the bleed stuff, but no real "kit" given out to each classroom. Going to be signing her up for a trauma class (ive done one locally, and thought it was well worth the money). My question is as far as TQ choices for a 6th grade classroom. Obviously set up some kind of IFAK for her, but would like to work towards having something else. Swat T's, RATS, or stick with cats? Kids would be 10-12yo or so.

School protocol should drive the decision based on liability, but I would prefer a cat on anything school age and up. Just IMHO.

Her school provides stop the bleed, as well as having supplies at a central location (unsure of exactly what is in the bag). They have a SRO of course as well. I would just like for her to have something supplemental just in case. I think the Cat would be close/adequate on most 11-12. Pray she never has to use it of course, but I think ill go that route.

Stop the Bleed class. We got a 10 pack of trauma kits for each school from local health department grant.

CAT. There's no evidence based guidelines for the others (except SOFT-W)

Dad but true, unless she's trained and certified, anything beyond basic first aid will get her fired. Get he a box of gloves, some square 3-4" sterile gauge pads and call it done. I taught US for 1 5 years, other then 1 childbirth and a seizure the worst ever was a broken nose from a fight and a whole lot of nose bleeds.

If you want the snakestaff systems ETQ TQ you can use cory10 for 10% off
They’re pretty compact to fit on key rings, in your pocket and you barley notice it’s there. It has some real world saves and because you can fit it in your pocket and forget about it until you need it, it’s pretty accessible. They make two widths and there’s data on widths of TQs you can read about and usable fabric etc.. but overall it’s a solid product. They also have an EDC IFAK coming out with GSW targeted products in it. |

NAR (North American Rescue, manufacturer of the CAT) has 25% off sales of various products 3-4 times a year; what's on sale always varies, but it always includes tqs. I don't think I've paid over $25/CAT since I discovered that. |
