With the Aide System, people are the priority!

The Aide System has been developed to untangle the often confusing and intimidating world of first aide. Our quality adventure first aide medical kits are the working parts of the Aide System. The knowledge and skills contained in our Guidebook and Quickguide, along with the quick codes, are the keys to giving fast, effective first aid.

The diagram here illustrates how you can use the Aide System in an adventure first aid situation where the Aide System might be used. You can also use these steps in life-threatening situations.

“You and a friend are you mountain biking for the day, following some great tracks and getting some awesome downhill runs. Your friend is out front and hits a sharp corner too hard. The wheels slide and then grip hard, and your friend is thrown over the bars and into a rocky verge. It’s a huge spill. You race up to the scene and jump off your bike to help. Your friend is lying awkwardly and motionless… What do you do?”

If you’re carrying an Aide kit, you’ll be empowered and ready to help in this situation. The guidebook’s quick text and emergency procedures will help you make the best decisions in this scary situation. The clear layout and systematic labelling of the kits, supplies, and guidebook instructions will allow you to quickly help your friend – whether they have concussion, severe bleeding, a broken limb, or something more serious.

FIRST AID TRAINING

We advise people to attend a certified first aid course and to recognise the limits of their competence. The system and the Aide kits are not a substitute for expert medical help or certified first aid training.
