FFU handed over first aid kits to the military

Together with our partners, the Medical Assistance to Ukraine project of the Association of Ukrainians of the Republic of Ireland, the Future for Ukraine Foundation has purchased 200 IFAKs, which are extremely necessary at the frontline. The military unit 4123 of the Armed Forces of Ukraine currently defending our country in the east has already received the kits.

About 40% of injury-related deaths on the battlefield are due to bleeding or its effects. The hemostatic dressing must be among the necessary medicines in the Individual First Aid Kit for the military.

In the case of first aid kits donated by the fund, it is Medclot Hemostatic. A bleeding control system designed for stopping hemorrhages with traumatic injuries. When pressed manually, the hemostatic promotes blood clotting within minutes, helping to save more lives.

It is used for bullet and knife injuries, mass accidents, harness injuries, and without pressure. The formula doesn’t include animal, plant, or human-originated allergens, so the bandage is safe. The active ingredients kaolin and carboxymethylcellulose are commonly used in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.
