The SURVIVAL Snake Bite KIT is designed in Australia by first aid experts and developed with snake safety specialists SSSafe. It is built around SURVIVAL's Smart Bandage and carries the contents needed for onsite first aid of a venomous snake or funnel-web spider bite - including instructions on correct bandage technique. It weighs 555g.

Why carry a snake bite kit

A snake bite kit exists because the correct first aid is a technique, not a product, and the technique is easy to get wrong under pressure. Pressure immobilisation bandaging has to be applied firmly over the bite and then along the entire limb, and the bandage tension matters. That is why this kit is built around the Smart Bandage and why it carries the instructions with it - the person applying it is often not the trained first aider.

The reason to keep it on you rather than at home is simple: bites happen away from the car. At 555g and 18 x 12 x 9cm closed, it is designed to attach to belts, backpacks, hiking and camping gear and mountain bikes, and to store in caravans and 4WDs. It opens out to 33cm and the outer can be wiped down with disinfectant.

It also covers funnel-web spider bite, which uses the same pressure immobilisation approach. Australia has effective antivenom for both, and survival depends far more on slowing venom movement and reaching hospital than on anything done at the bite itself - which is exactly what this kit is built to support.

Common uses

Bushwalking, camping, trail running, mountain biking, farm and property work, and anywhere in Australia with long grass and warm weather - and it belongs on the person or the pack, not in the shed. Many people carry a spare bandage as well, since a full limb takes more than one: the AEROFORM Snake Bite Bandage with Indicator has printed tension markers that show when the wrap is firm enough. For vehicles and worksites, the MODULATOR Orange Snake Bite Module is the mountable version. See all trekking, travel and camping first aid kits.

snake bite kit FAQs

What is the correct first aid for a snake bite?

Keep the person completely still and call 000. Apply a broad pressure bandage firmly over the bite, then bandage the whole limb from the fingers or toes upward, as firmly as for a sprained ankle, and splint it to stop it moving. Mark the bite site on the outside of the bandage. Bring help to the person rather than walking them out.

Should I wash the bite?

No. Do not wash the bite site. Venom left on the skin can be used at hospital to identify which snake was involved and therefore which antivenom to give. Washing it away removes that information.

Should I cut the bite or use a tourniquet?

No to both, and no to sucking the venom out. Cutting, suction and tourniquets cause harm without slowing the venom. Pressure immobilisation bandaging is the method used in Australia because snake venom travels largely through the lymphatic system, which movement pumps along - so stillness and firm bandaging are what work.

Does this work for spider bites too?

Pressure immobilisation is the correct first aid for funnel-web spider bite as well as snake bite, and this kit covers both. It is not used for redback spider bite, where a cold pack and medical assessment are appropriate instead. If you are unsure which spider it was, call 000.

Why does the kit include instructions?

Because bandage technique decides the outcome and it is easy to get wrong when frightened. The instructions travel with the kit so whoever opens it - often not the trained first aider - can apply the bandage correctly first time.

Do I still need to get to hospital?

Always, and urgently, even if the person seems well. Symptoms can be delayed, antivenom is given in hospital, and every suspected venomous bite needs medical assessment. First aid buys time; it is not treatment.

First aid supplies do not replace first aid training or medical care. For any suspected snake or funnel-web spider bite, call 000 immediately and apply pressure immobilisation first aid while waiting - all suspected venomous bites require urgent hospital assessment even if the person appears well. Do not wash the bite site, cut the wound, attempt suction, or apply a tourniquet. Check kit contents and expiry dates regularly and after every use.
