Trauma Dressings

Emergency trauma dressings are thicker and more robust than regular dressings to help absorb heavy bleeding

• The super-absorbent pad can hold more than double its weight in fluids, safeguarding the wound from contaminants
• Quick and secure closure is ensured by the Velcro fastening without needing additional supplies like dressing retention tape
• Highly versatile dressing equipped with long straps meaning it can be applied to any part of the body
• Vacuum-packed for compact storage
• Retains compression with a moderately stretchy strap with a velcro pad on the end, which can be used to secure the bandage
• The Health and Safety Executive state, following a risk assessment: “First aid provision must be 'adequate and appropriate in the circumstances'. This means that you must provide sufficient first aid equipment (first aid kit), facilities and personnel at all times”

Workplaces, premises, facilities or sites with any hazards such as machinery, equipment, sharp or moving objects which could cause critical injuries such as major bleeding must have first aid provision to treat them. The simple and small investment of adding bleed control products to existing first aid provisions helps bridge the ‘care gap’ and could save lives.
