Rhino Rescue

Free express delivery applies on orders of $100 or more, with DHL serving the EU, FedEx serving the US and either carrier used elsewhere. Rates below that threshold are not published. The company states honestly that if local stock is unavailable an order may ship from another warehouse, which can cause delays, particularly to remote areas.

No returns policy, refund terms or guarantee appears anywhere on the product page, and no contact email, telephone number or trading address is published, only the warehouse cities of Ratingen, Chino and Shanghai. On a $63.48 purchase of safety equipment that is a significant gap, so get the return terms confirmed in writing before ordering and pay by a method that offers its own dispute protection.

No approval or recommendation is stated, and this is the most important thing to understand before buying. The Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care maintains the authoritative list of recommended limb tourniquets, which includes devices such as the CAT Gen 7, SOFTT-W, TMT and SAM-XT, and it exists because unapproved tourniquets have been tested and found to fail, with windlass rods snapping and buckles or webbing giving way under load. This listing claims no CoTCCC recommendation and does not even specify whether the windlass is metal or plastic. The Stop the Bleed campaign referenced in the product title specifically advises using CoTCCC-recommended devices. Our recommendation is to buy your tourniquet separately as a recommended model from an authorised dealer, and verify authenticity, since counterfeits are widespread online.

No certification of any kind is mentioned. There is no FDA clearance stated for any component and no CE marking, which is notable given that the company operates an EU warehouse and CE marking is mandatory for medical devices sold in Europe. No expiry dates or shelf-life information is given either, which matters because sterile dressings and gauze do expire and a kit stored for years needs date tracking. If you buy it, log the contents and check the packaging dates yourself.

Not without training. A nasopharyngeal airway is a medical airway device inserted through the nostril to maintain an open airway in an unresponsive casualty. It requires proper instruction, and it is contraindicated where mid-face or skull base injury is suspected, because intracranial misplacement has been reported, while incorrect insertion can cause significant bleeding into the airway. The kit includes a 28Fr NPA with no insertion guidance and no warning. If you have not been trained, leave it in the pouch and use positioning and basic airway manoeuvres instead.

Yes, and it should be your first purchase rather than your last. The company offers product training videos, but only to customers who have already bought the kit and then email to request them, which is the wrong way round for safety equipment. Take a Stop the Bleed course or an equivalent bleeding-control class, which are widely available and often free. Learn to apply a tourniquet one-handed, practise wound packing, and remember the sequence: call emergency services, apply direct pressure, pack the wound, and use a tourniquet for life-threatening limb bleeding that pressure cannot control. Write the application time on the tourniquet, which is what the included marker is for.

Sixteen items, despite the title saying seventeen: two chest seal twin-packs, compression gauze, 4-inch and 6-inch emergency bandages, a RHINO tourniquet with holder, an 18-inch splint, a combat cravat, an elastic crepe bandage, an eye shield, duct tape, an emergency blanket, stainless steel shears, a 28Fr nasopharyngeal airway, gloves and a marker. Note that the chest seals are not identified as vented or unvented, which is a meaningful distinction since current guidance generally favours vented seals for penetrating chest wounds.

Every Rhino Rescue code listed on smartstorereview is tested against the live checkout before publication and rechecked regularly, with expired codes removed and the last verified date shown beside each offer. Note that the product page itself displayed two conflicting codes during our review, a 10% code and a 22% Black Friday code, with no indication which applied, and the kit showed as out of stock, so confirm availability and the final total before completing payment.
