TTF Stingray Kit - pretty cool!

[TeamTTF]

Check out the latest product from TTF. It's a Stingray and Jellyfish Sting First Aid Kit. It's full of all the stuff you need to treat either injury - right down to a heat bar to help soothe the pain of getting nailed by a 'ray. It's only 12-inches tall and 6-inches wide, so it should be no problem stuffing this in a boat hatch or in a kayak.

The bag is also waterproof and re-sealable, so it can be used as an emergency ice bag, or even a dry bag. This is sorta' one of those "just in case" items. You hope you never have to use it, but if you do, at least you know you've got the stuff to doctor yourself up until you can get some help.

We also have a new Jellyfish Sting Relief Gel. You basically spray it on and then scrape it off. The gel bonds to the nematocysts (stingers) that jellyfish leave buried in the skin and when you scrape the gel off, the stingers come with it.

There's full info on the kit, including all the contents, HERE.



Retail price should check in somewhere around $25.00.

If only Steve Irwin (crocodile hunter) had this at the time

I just don't think this would have plugged the hole he tore in his heart when he pulled the barbed stinger out. But hey who know's...

A co-worker (not known for being the sharpest tool in the shed) came in and saw the kit on my desk today. He asked, "Do you think if the Crocodile Hunter woulda' had something' like this he coulda' saved his own life?"

My reply: "Probably not."

We love to wadefish, so the Stingray kit was born after seeing what can happen after you get hit by a Stingray. Cleaning up the wound and applying heat will help you get to the hospital with much less pain. Keep one on the boat, kayak, truck (if you walk in to wadefish)etc.

The Jellyfish Spray is good for the wadefisherman, children at the beach, basically anytime your in/near saltwater. Keep one on the boat, kayak and/or beach bag etc.

A 55-gal drum full wouldn't have helped his situation.

That jellyfish stuff will be great for the surf fishing and beach going this summer. Esp. for the the kids. Hope to never have to deal w/ one of them rays poppin me. I've only heard bad things from being hit by one when it happens and the later side effects after the injury has occurred.

May have to get a kit or 2. Is it being sold in retail stores yet?
(Academy, Wal-Mart, Gander Mt., etc....)

They'll be hitting Academy in early February.

And regarding the stories on this thread - one thing I want to stress is that we certainly don't mean for this to be a SUBSTITUTE for going to the doctor. There are too many nasty bacteria in our water to skip out on a doc visit after getting plugged by a 'ray. One of the issues people often come across is that shards of the barb break off and lodge into the foot or leg - obviously, you're not going to be able to pull these out with tweezers. Play it safe and get treated ASAP, even if it seems like a "minimal" hit.

The Stingray Kit and StingMate Jellyfish Relief Gel will ship out to Academy before Feb 10th. Look for in the Wadefishing section.
