PICKPAK™ is a product from PICK® International,
Inc. PICK is a registered trademark for PICK International, Inc. It is
an acronym for: Precautionary Infection
Control Kits.
Rodney Horn, the Founder and current Chairman of
PICK, started PICK International and developed the PICKPAK
in 1994. Mr. Horn was asked to fulfill a need in the area of emergency
wound care for high school athletics. Mr. Horn used his extensive knowledge
as a Registered Respiratory Therapist, President/CEO of Wichita Medical
Supply (a durable medical good company), Chairman of Longhorn Drug Company
as well as years of hospital emergency care experience to develop the
original first aid procedure pak to be used at the alternate site for
wound care and infectious disease management.
This inventive procedure, soon to become the Wound
Pak™ was developed because a product did not exist
for people to protect themselves while dealing with wounds outside of
hospitals and away from fresh water. When the product was initially developed,
1 in 250 people tested positive for HIV; today that number is 1 in 100.
PICKPAKs have been used in the
NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL and the 1996 Olympics. In fact, during the 1994 World
Games Gold Medal Championship basketball game, a Dream Team II player
was treated courtside with a Wound Pak by the team’s athletic trainers.
PICKPAK has also been used at numerous NCAA sporting
events.
PICKPAKs are patented, FDA-approved,
sterile procedure paks. They protect the caregiver and they protect your
company as well. Best of all, PICKPAKs are affordable.
You can buy these pre-packaged procedure paks for less than you can buy
the sterile components separately.
What would you rather do in an emergency –
go to your supply cabinet, hoping what you need is there, frantically
look for what you need and select the correct components? If you were
able to find what you thought you needed, then you’d have to know
what order to use them to provide adequate treatment, keep yourself protected
from infectious disease and to comply with safety policies.
Wouldn’t you rather grab a PICKPAK
and feel confident that you have all materials that you need, in the order
you need to use them in! PICKPAKs make it that simple!
PICKPAK is not just a pak or a
package. It’s a procedure. A procedure that will allow you to render
proper first aid without exposing yourself to infectious disease or other
by-products of mis-treatments – litigation, etc…
The PICKPAK product line has been
available to the industrial safety market for years. In 2003, PICKPAK
established a more focused attention to national distribution through
manufacturer representation and their distributors in this arena. Currently,
PICK sells through distributors to School Health/Sports Medicine and the
First Responder markets.
Today the PICKPAK product line
has been expanded to include more than 20 unique and innovative products.
Additionally, the PICKPAK products, through this Web
site, are now available to the general public for purchase and use.
