Mend It Kits Announces New Mountain Bike First Aid Kit

PRESS RELEASE: Mend It Kits

Mend It Kits is proud to introduce the premier first aid kit designed by mountain bikers for mountain bikers. Founded by three brothers and based out of Bellingham, Washington, Mend It Kits leverages its founders’ combined engineering, military, and medical backgrounds to bring innovation and creativity to an age-old product, allowing mountain bikers to ride more safely than ever before.


MEND IT KITS – A MODERN TWIST ON AN ESSENTIAL PRODUCT

As avid mountain bikers and outdoorsmen, we have both experienced riding injuries ourselves and encountered our fellow riders injured on the trail. When we went searching for a first aid kit to suit our needs, we came up empty handed. Riders want to stay safe on the trail, but often want to avoid heavy packs or bulging pockets. When designing our kit, we kept minimizing weight, maximizing versatility and optimizing usefulness at the forefront of our design process, aiming for an ultralight kit that attaches directly to any bike frame.


The result is the MTB First Aid Kit. Containing all the items needed to treat a wide variety of the most common riding injuries, the MTB First Aid Kit is packaged in a foam splint custom sized for a wrist or ankle and attaches to the bike with a CAT tourniquet. Weighing in at just under 7 ounces and completely waterproof, this kit includes both common first aid staples as well as custom components selected and engineered to address the injuries riders are most likely to face.


One of the key components of the kit is a 3D-printed carbon fiber-impregnated PLA finger splint that utilizes “living hinge” technology to conform to any finger, while still remaining lightweight and easy to package and carry flat. Designed and manufactured in-house, this component gives riders the opportunity to stabilize common extremity injuries on the trail and get riders back on their bikes as quickly as possible. Along with the finger splint, the kit contains medical tape, gauze, Band-Aids, Steri-strips, alcohol pads, skin prep wipes, Neosporin, ibuprofen, and acetaminophen. A quick-reference card also talks riders through stabilizing a range of injuries from head and back injuries to broken bones and massive hemorrhaging.
