THE EMERGENCY BANDAGE - Leg Wound Packing
Military Trauma Wound Dressing w/2nd Mobile Pad
Designed for treating entry and exit wounds, the 6-inch Military Entry/Exit Wound Dressing incorporates a number of innovative features for immediate hemorrhage control in the field and on the street. As with the entire Emergency Bandage series, the 6-inch Military Entry/Exit Wound Dressing includes the built-in, patented Pressure Applicator, which can apply over 30 pounds of pressure directly to a wound. The Closure Bar, which secures the Wrapping Leader in a simple, fast and familiar movement, can also be used to exert additional pressure over a wound site. Other unique features include the Stop & Go release, providing controlled application of the bandage without the risk of unravelling, and the Handle Loop, a fold at the end of the Wrapping Leader that maintains placement of the pad and aids proper positioning on the wound site. During self-application, the Handle Loop facilitates correct bandaging -- even one-handed. The bandage is double vacuum packed to ensure its integrity and sterility while tear notches opposite each other on the outer packaging enable easy opening.
In addition to the features that are standard in all of the Emergency Bandages, the Military Entry/Exit Wound Dressing is equipped with a second, mobile pad: one pad for the entry wound, one for the exit. For deep wounds, the mobile pad easily separates from the bandage and can be used to pack the wound, expediting hemorrhage control. For larger wounds, placing the mobile pad next to the stationary pad extends the pad surface to 10 by 6 inches, which is advantageous for large wound care.
