Bandage – BLAST® (TACMED)

Description

The BLAST® Bandage provides a 50x50cm treatment area, but packs to about the size of a 10cm ( 4”) application bandage. Our large non-adherent wound pad will fit around limbs and secured with the attached elastic wrap. It provides a large sterile protective covering for shrapnel wounds or burns. With such a large coverage area, the Blast® Bandage is large enough to cover the entire back or chest of most casualties.

This OLAES Bandage also offers a removable occlusive layer that will cover a 48x48cm area. Or can be used to cover abdominal contents minimising the loss of heat and moisture. As with our other bandages, the “brakes” on the TacMed BLAST® bandage help prevent accidental unrolling of the elastic wrap during high stress application. These brakes are especially helpful during the dressing of amputations. By providing multiple points of adhesion, the brakes prevent slippage of the elastic during the wrapping process. This creates a more secure, effective bandage and decreases the chance of the wound being exposed during movement.
