Rescue Essentials Trauma Cap
The Rescue Essentials Trauma Cap is an innovative, simple and elegant medical product that will significantly improve and standardize treatment to head trauma, ultimately resulting in better outcomes to life threatening injuries.
The Trauma Cap addresses many issues first responders face when dealing with head wounds, including:
- The scalp is difficult to treat for trauma, hemostasis, and lacerations.
- No easy way to apply sufficient necessary pressure to head wounds. It requires manual compression.
- Difficult to treat without moving the neck in the event of multiple traumatic injuries.
- Dealing with head wounds requires time, potentially delaying treatment of additional life-threatening injuries during the "Golden Hour"
The Trauma Cap addresses all of the above concerns. The patented device has been designed and tested by emergency physicians and is intended to serve as a mechanical replacement to manual pressure on scalp lacerations.
