FAQ
Q) What is included in the Endurance Blister Kit? The kit includes a professional-grade selection of tools for prevention and treatment:
A) 100cm of TrailMed K-Tape, a 100ml pen-shaped travel sharps bin, 10 sterile 21g needles, 10 low-adherent dressings, 10 alcohol wipes, sterile gauze, hydrocolloid blister plasters, and non-latex gloves.
Q) How durable is the Endurance Blister Kit pouch?
A) The kit is housed in a signature blue pouch that is water-resistant and engineered for resilience, ensuring your medical supplies remain protected in the toughest trail conditions.
Q) Why are 21g "green" needles included?
A) In clinical settings, a 21g needle is the gold standard for precision drainage. Unlike safety pins or thorns, these sterile instruments allow for a controlled release of fluid, reducing the risk of infection and keeping you moving on the trail.
Q) Is the kit suitable for high-mileage events like ultra-marathons?
A) Yes. This kit is specifically designed for ultra-walkers, runners, and hikers who require a compact, lightweight solution that doesn't add bulk to a race vest or pack.
Q) Can the components of the kit be reused?
A) While the dressings and needles are single-use for clinical safety, the durable pouch and the travel sharps bin are designed for multiple uses across many adventures. Additional “restock item pouches” can be purchased from TrailMed for your needs.
Q) How does the travel sharps bin enhance safety?
A) The 100ml pen-shaped sharps bin allows you to safely dispose of used needles immediately after treatment. This ensures that you, your fellow adventurers, and the environment are protected from medical waste.
Q) What makes this kit different from standard retail blister packs?
A) The Endurance Blister Kit combines high-performance K-Tape for prevention with clinical-grade sterile instruments for treatment. It is an all-in-one system that includes printed "how-to" guides to ensure you apply medical excellence even when fatigued.
