You're not. This snake bite kit carries exactly what the pressure immobilisation technique needs — nothing padded out, nothing missing either. If you already own a first aid kit and just need to close the snake bite gap in it, this is that gap closed, properly, without paying for a full kit you don't need. One tension indicator bandage, a splint, an ice pack, and clear instructions — the core components you need to respond correctly while you wait for help. If you're covering a family, pets, or you spend real time in remote country, the Snake Bite Plus and Snake Bite Max carry more bandage and broader coverage — but this one holds its own for what it is. One tension indicator bandage (10cm x 10.5m) with heavyweight conforming bandage Your instinct will be to bandage tight and hope for the best. Don't guess — most Australian snake bites happen on the lower limbs, and this snake bite compression bandage's printed tension indicator turns rectangles into squares the moment your pressure's actually right. You'll know, instead of hoping. Aluminium splint (90cm x 11cm), cotton calico triangular bandage, and non-woven gauze swab Bandaging alone isn't the whole job — the limb needs to stay still too, or you're only doing half of pressure immobilisation. Practise this before you need it — it's harder under pressure than it looks on a leaflet. Instant ice pack and snake bite marker The ice pack's there specifically for redback bites, where cold is actually the right call. The marker lets you write the bite time straight onto the bandage — you won't remember it later, and the hospital will need it. Instruction leaflet — Australian conditions Step-by-step, written for what actually happens here — snake bites, funnel-web spider bites, blue-ringed octopus stings, and cone shell stings, all managed the same way with pressure immobilisation. This kit works whether it's just you, your family, or your workplace — one person is enough reason to carry it. If you're regularly out on rural land, with kids or pets, the Snake Bite Plus gives you two full-length bandages, gloves, trauma shears, a thermal blanket, and tick tools. Heading properly remote? The Snake Bite Max covers the whole range of what you might run into. Built and inspected by hand in Dubbo, NSW — backed by 19 years of remote NSW first aid training experience going into every kit 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. Is a budget snake bite kit still a proper snake bite first aid kit, or am I missing something important? You're not missing anything the technique needs. This snake bite kit carries a full-length snake bandage and everything pressure immobilisation requires — it's just without the extras. If you want more coverage for family or remote travel, the Snake Bite Plus or Snake Bite Max add to it, they don't replace it. Does this snake bite kit's snake bite bandage meet Australian first aid standards? Yes. The pressure immobilisation technique in this snake bite kit follows the ANZCOR-recommended Australian first aid response, and the tension indicator bandage is built to the same standard as our other snake bite compression bandages. 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 the 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's the difference between this snake bite kit and the Snake Bite Plus? Bandage length and extras. This snake bite kit carries one 10.5 metre snake bandage and the core pressure immobilisation essentials. The Snake Bite Plus carries two full-length snake bandages plus a thermal blanket, gloves, and tick removal tools. 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. { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "FAQPage", "mainEntity": [ {"@type": "Question", "name": "Should I call 000 immediately after applying my snake bite kit's pressure immobilisation bandage, even if there are no symptoms?", "acceptedAnswer": {"@type": "Answer", "text": "Yes — every time.
