| The Blast™ Bandage was designed to provide the ability to quickly
package traumatic amputations, burns and large pattern wounds with
minimal use of supplies and minimal effort. The Blast™ Bandage provides
a 20” X 20” treatment area, but packs to about the size of a 4” combat
bandage.
Our large non-adherent wound pad can be easily wrapped 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.
The Blast™ Bandage also offers a removable occlusive layer that will
cover a 19”x 19” area or can be used to cover abdominal contents
minimizing the loss of heat and moisture.
As with our other bandages the “brakes” on the 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. |
