TacMed™ BLAST Combat Wound Bandage 3.0 oz

ACMED Solutions BLAST® Bandage: Comprehensive Trauma Care in a Compact Package

The TACMED Solutions BLAST® Bandage is a specialized medical tool designed to manage severe trauma, including traumatic amputations, burns, and large pattern wounds. Tailored for first responders, military personnel, and individuals preparing for emergencies, this multifunctional bandage provides rapid and effective wound coverage with minimal supplies. It features a large 20" x 20" treatment area yet packs down to the size of a 4" combat bandage, making it a highly portable addition to any first aid kit or emergency bag.

Key Features for Superior Wound Management

• Large Non-Adherent Wound Pad: A non-adherent pad allows the bandage to be wrapped around limbs and secured with an attached elastic wrap, providing sustained bleeding control while protecting the wound from contaminants.
• Removable Occlusive Layer: This layer spans 19" x 19" and can cover abdominal contents or serve as a burn dressing, helping to minimize heat and moisture loss—vital for preventing complications in severe injuries.
• Control Strips ("Brakes"): Integrated strips prevent accidental unrolling during application, a critical feature in high-stress scenarios. These brakes also maintain the bandage’s position and pressure, ensuring stability during movement.
• Compact and Portable: Vacuum-sealed into a compact package (4" H x 7" W x 2.5" D), the BLAST® Bandage is easy to store in emergency kits or tactical gear.

Simple and Effective Application

The BLAST® Bandage is designed for intuitive use, even under pressure:

1. Remove the bandage from its vacuum-sealed packaging.
2. Place the non-adherent wound pad over the injury.
3. Secure it with the elastic wrap, applying pressure to control bleeding.
4. For abdominal injuries or burns, apply the occlusive layer to protect the wound.

This straightforward process enables both professionals and laypersons to address severe hemorrhage or burn injuries quickly, offering critical care until professional medical help is available.
