Our Flagship Product

The Kitty Kit™

Product photo: adrenaline and bleed control kit

A compact medical zip bag housing two adrenaline auto-injectors and a tourniquet — designed to sit alongside every defibrillator in every school, university, airport, and public space in the UK and Ireland.

We call it a Dual Life Station — because just as a defibrillator is there for cardiac arrest, the Kitty Kit™ is there for anaphylaxis and catastrophic bleeding.
