All ACS STOP THE BLEED® kits are available in four tiers - personal, premium, enhanced, and enhanced premium. These tiers meet various state laws on what should be in bleeding control kits. All kits contain tourniquets, but enhanced and enhanced premium kits add chest seals and hypothermia blankets. Each kit also has the option of either QuikClot® or Celox™ hemostatic dressing, which is designed to help blood clot faster and stop bleeding more quickly.

Bleeding Control FAQ
State and local laws or guidelines may require buildings to have a certain number of kits. Learn more about your state's requirements in our interactive map above.
Here are some general considerations regardless of where you live:
- Keep Kits Accessible - Bleeding emergencies can claim a life in 3-5 minutes, so make sure immediate responders don't have to travel far for a kit.
- Location capacity - High-traffic or occasionally crowded places may require more kits.
- Schools and Campuses - Every school should have at least one kit. A larger campus may require more kits depending on how large or spread out facilities are.
You may consider conducting a risk assessment to determine how many kits to order. The number of fire extinguishers, AEDs, or other safety equipment may be a good place to start when evaluating how many Stop the Bleed Kits your facility should have.
- Near existing emergency equipment - Place kits alongside automated external defibrillators (AEDs) or other first aid kits. Your Stop the Bleed kit may even fit inside an AED cabinet alongside the AED. Add stickers or other signage to let immediate responders know that a bleeding control kit is present.
- Keep Kits Visible - Ensure kits are easy to reach and clearly labeled.
- Consider response times when choosing locations - In large buildings or campuses, kits should be evenly dispersed to ensure that no responder needs to travel far to access a kit.
- Document kit locations - Make sure any facility emergency plans include the location of all Stop the Bleed Kits.
Check once a year for expired or damaged supplies. Replenish any used items right after an incident.
