TacMed BLAST bandage

The BLAST® bandage from TacMed™ Solutions was developed to quickly wrap traumatic amputations, burns and large wounds with minimal material use and little effort.

The BLAST® Bandage provides a treatment area of ​​50 x 50 cm but packs down to the size of a 4" combat bandage. The large, non-adhesive wound pad easily wraps around limbs and secures with the attached elastic bandage. It provides a large sterile protective covering for shrapnel wounds or burns. With this large coverage area, the BLAST® bandage is large enough to cover the entire back or chest of most injured people.

The BLAST® bandage also offers a removable occlusive layer that covers an area of ​​48 x 48 cm or can be used to cover the abdominal cavity to minimize heat and moisture loss.

As with the other TacMed™ bandages, the "brakes" on the bandage help prevent the elastic cover from accidentally unrolling under heavy use. These brakes are particularly helpful when bandaging amputations. Because the brakes provide multiple grip points, they prevent the elastic bandage from slipping during the wrapping process. This creates a safe, effective dressing and reduces the risk of the wound being exposed during movement.

Details:

• Control strips with Velcro fastener to prevent accidental unrolling
• Large treatment area to cover the entire back or chest
