It isn't. This snake bite kit is built around getting the pressure right, not tight, with an indicator bandage that shows you exactly when you've got it correct. Light enough for your glovebox, your belt clip, or a day walk, without leaving anything out. It's not just for snakes, either. The splint in this kit is a genuine fracture splint — if you or someone with you takes a fall and breaks a limb, the same aluminium foam splint that holds a bitten limb still during pressure immobilisation does the job for a break too. One kit, two serious uses. Two snake bite bandages with indicator (10cm x 4.5m each) Most snake bites in Australia happen on the lower limbs, and pressure immobilisation only works if you wrap firmly from the bite site up. This snake bite compression bandage's printed tension indicator turns rectangles into squares the moment your pressure's right, so you're not guessing whether your snake bite pressure bandage is tight enough when you're a long way from help. Aluminium foam splint — doubles as fracture support, not just snake bite immobilisation Moulds around an arm or a leg and holds its shape, so it works for a suspected break as well as it does for keeping a bitten limb still. If you're out with just yourself or a mate and something goes wrong, this is the item doing double duty in your kit. Cotton calico triangular bandage and conforming bandage For keeping the limb properly still once it's splinted or bandaged. Getting the full pressure immobilisation technique right matters more than any single item in the bag, and this kit gives you everything the technique calls for. Permanent marker, instant ice pack, and A4 step-by-step instructions with QR code Mark the bite time straight onto the skin or bandage — your treating hospital will need it. The ice pack manages swelling while you wait. The instructions are in plain English, with a QR code to the Australian Bites & Stings app if you want a second reference on the day. This kit suits you whether you're carrying it solo, for two, or for however many people you're out with — it's not limited to families, it's built for anyone who wants proper snake bite protection without the bulk. If you want broader coverage for a group or family, the Snake Bite Plus carries longer 10.5m bandages plus tick removal tools. Heading somewhere remote, well out of signal? The Snake Bite Max is built for that. Need a replacement bandage only? See the long indicator bandage or the short indicator bandage on their own. Hand-assembled in Dubbo, using components from a 100% Australian-owned and operated manufacturer, and checked before it ships — backed by 19 years of remote NSW first aid training experience going into every design decision. Frequently Asked Questions Should I call 000 immediately after applying my snake bite kit's pressure immobilisation bandage, even if there are no symptoms? Yes — every time. Snake bites often don't hurt straight away, and symptoms can take time to show. Apply the pressure immobilisation bandage from your snake bite kit and call 000 immediately, even if you feel completely fine. Can the splint in this snake bite kit be used for a broken arm or leg, not just snake bite first aid? Yes. The aluminium foam splint in this snake bite kit is a genuine fracture splint — it moulds around your limb and holds a break still, the same way it holds a bitten limb still during pressure immobilisation. Is this snake bite kit suitable for one person, or do I need the family-sized kit? This snake bite kit works for one person or several — it's not limited to families. If you want broader coverage for a group, the Snake Bite Plus carries longer snake bandages, but this kit is a complete snake bite first aid kit on its own. How do I correctly apply a snake bite bandage using the pressure immobilisation technique? Wrap the snake bite bandage firmly from the bite site up your entire limb, watching the tension indicator — rectangles turn to squares when the pressure immobilisation technique is applied correctly. Splint the limb still, then call 000. What is a snake bite bandage with indicator, and how does it compare to a snake bite compression bandage? It's a snake bite bandage with indicator — printed with rectangles that turn into squares once you've applied correct pressure with this snake bite compression bandage. A standard crepe bandage gives you no way to check you've bandaged tightly enough. Does this snake bite kit expire, and how long do snake bite first aid kit components last? Yes — the bandages and other sterile items in any snake bite first aid kit have expiry dates, so check your snake bite kit once a year and replace anything expired or used.
