WyoMed is proud to offer this nationally recognized course under an official STOP THE BLEED® Educational License. This concise, hands-on training equips the general public with the skills to recognize and control life-threatening bleeding using direct pressure, wound packing, and tourniquet application. The course is adaptable for all age groups and can be customized for specific environments such as schools, workplaces, industrial sites, or community settings. No prior medical experience is needed—just a willingness to learn how to save a life.

Course Title: Bleeding Control: Hands-On Skills Lab (Add-On)

Description:
Take your bleeding control skills to the next level in this optional add-on training lab following the official Stop the Bleed™ course. Using TrueClot® advanced wound packing task trainers with simulated blood and realistic anatomy, this session gives students hands-on experience with lifelike bleeding scenarios — including large caliber gunshot wounds, knife/laceration injuries, and junctional (inguinal) hemorrhages.

You’ll practice proper packing, compression, and hemorrhage control using simulated hemostatic gauze and pressurized blood simulant. Our trainers feature internal bone structures, blood flow response, and deep wound cavities for realistic tactile feedback — simulating conditions far beyond what’s possible in a standard Stop the Bleed™ class.

This course is designed for:

• Students who have just completed Stop the Bleed™

• Public safety personnel, SAR, EMS, outdoor leaders, or anyone seeking deeper realism

• Anyone looking to build muscle memory in high-stress, high-bleed environments

What to Expect:

• 100% hands-on, skill-focused session

• Use of realistic wound models and TrueClot® blood simulant

• No lectures or slides — just blood, gauze, and real-world practice

• Includes junctional (inguinal) wound trainer use

• Class runs approx. 45–60 minutes and takes place immediately following the main Stop the Bleed™ course

Prerequisite: Completion of Stop the Bleed™ (same-day course or prior)

Note: This is a skills lab only and does not issue a separate certification. It is intended to reinforce and deepen competency through immersive, scenario-based repetition.
