Aero Healthcare - from sticky plasters to life saving AEDs

28 May 2019

Aero Healthcare is a global supplier of first aid and wound care products with a vision to deliver superior outcomes to improve brand loyalty.
With a portfolio that boasts the world-leading range of Stryker  public access defibrillators, to first aid care including the company’s very own “world stickiest plaster”, Aero works with distributors and end users across public, private and the emergency  sectors.

In addition to a comprehensive range of automatic external defibrillators (AEDs), including the flagship PAD 500P that utilises patented CPR feedback technology, the company leaves no stone unturned when it comes to supporting its customers through sales support, training and raising awareness of the wider issues associated with sudden cardiac arrests (SCAs) and preventing injuries in the workplace.
Complementing the PAD 500P are the PAD 360P, a fully automated defibrillator designed to automatically analyse and deliver defibrillation, and the PAD 350P, which has all the features of the PAD 500P except for the CPR.

Mark Gilmore, managing director for Aero Healthcare, said: “Each year, more than seven million people die from an SCA, and it can happen to anyone, any age, and at any time. However, chances of survival increase by 74% if a defibrillator is used but this diminishes by seven to ten per cent for every minute that passes until medical assistance arrives.
“It’s for this reason we stock a vast range of AEDs. They can be used by anyone meaning that a few simple steps can mean the difference between life, and death. Again, this has led us to campaigning for greater awareness, and our guide on how to save a life is a good place to start.”
Also high on the agenda for Aero is first aid. Whether you’re in public sector procurement, or head of HR at an SME, Aero has the infrastructure through its distributor network to advise and supply the most appropriate first aid supplies and consumables for your business to help in any emergency or, in fact, to help prevent injuries occurring in the first place.
Gilmore added: “Often left in a dark cupboard until it’s actually needed, the first aid box is a requisite for all businesses, but often they are purchased as part of a tick box exercise.
“Even the guidance around their contents can be misleading and there are items that are either no longer a requirement, or perhaps not even a necessity for all workplaces .
“We can provide direction through our distributor network that not only helps buyers keep their environments safer but also aids navigation through the procurement process and thus save time, money and resource. Equally, we help distributors ratify their catalogue range and reduce the amount of SKUs required.”
