The sterile, non-adherent pad is placed on the wound. |
 |
The application of direct pressure to the wound site is achieved by wrapping the elasticized woven leader over the topside of the bandage pad where the specially designed pressure bar is situated. The pressure bar is designed to readily accept the wrapping leader. |
 |
After engagement of the pressure bar, wrapping the leader in any direction around the limb or body part and onto the pressure bar forces the pressure bar down onto the pad creating the direct pressure needed to bring about homeostasis. |
 |
The pressure bar, in addition to its primary function, facilitates bandaging. The elastic bandage uses the rigid shape of the pressure bar to change direction while bandaging, thus affording the caregiver more options for effective dressing of the wound. |
 |
Subsequent wrappings of the leader secures and maintains the pad in place over the wound, and by covering all the edges of the pad acts as a sterile secondary dressing. The bandage leader is woven wide and will not bunch up or twist itself into a rope. |
 |
The closure system of the bandage is multi-functional yet simple, quick, and familiar. Situated at the end of the leader is a closure bar (dowel with hooking clips) at each end to secure the wrapping leader the same way that a pen is secured in a shirt pocket. The closure bar holds the bandage securely in place over the wound site. |
 |
If additional pressure is required the closure bar is easily removed from its normal closure position and inserted between previous layers of the leader directly above the protruding pressure bar and rotated. This rotation acts to screw down the pressure bar onto the wound to exert blood-staunching pressure. The closure bar is used as before to secure the dressing. |

What's the EMERGENCY/MULTI-PURPOSE BANDAGE all about? The Emergency / Multi-Purpose Bandage is for the untrained lay
person as well as the paramedical professional. The bandage combines
design and quick and easy application to free the caregiver from searching for additional equipment.
Focus and control in treatment are enhanced. The Emergency / Multi-Purpose Bandage saves time in an emergency
situation where every second is crucial. The sooner the treatment
begins the better the victims chances of survival, particularly in cases of hemorrhaging.
As one unit the bandage performs multiple functions, and therefore enhances the treatment provided. The Emergency / Multi-Purpose Bandage consolidates the functions of numerous (currently
separate) pieces of equipment into one easy-to-use unit. Application
is simple and quick. Consolidation of functions makes treatment more
efficient, both medically and economically. Compared to current treatments the Emergency /Multi-Purpose Bandage proves to be an improved
life-sustaining device at a competitive price. |

Immediate and effective direct pressure to the wound may reduce the need for a tourniquet application (shown above). This is an important benefit as tourniquet applications are to be avoided and used only as a last resort. If a tourniquet is required the closure bar is removed from above the pressure bar and inserted between previous revolutions of the wrapping leader 5cm above the wound, over the blood vessel, and rotated. This rotation twists the wrapping leader until the blood flow to the wound site is constricted. After a tourniquet has been achieved, the hooking clips are used to secure and maintain the tourniquet as well as the secondary sterile wound covering which is still in place. |

The equipment and procedures used for the treatment of hemorrhage wounds
in emergency field situations by most international military organizations has remained unchanged for over 50 years.
Today the Emergency Bandage is being supplied to select NATO forces, and
testing has been completed with the military medical commands of the U.S. Army, USMC, Australia, Belgium, Denmark, The
Netherlands, Sweden, France, Greece, Israel, Singapore, and Poland.
For the medic the Emergency Bandage facilitates the treatment of hemorrhage wounds in emergency field situations by incorporating the functions of all necessary equipment into an ergonomically improved life-saving device
The Emergency Bandage reduces the amount of triangular bandages a medic
must carry in his combat vest, thus enabling him to carry other life-saving equipment.
The Emergency Bandage replaces current personal field dressings carried
by every soldier. This allows even the non-medically trained combatant to
treat himself more effectively.
Utilization of the Emergency Bandage provides an overall benefit when
evaluating the life cycle cost (LCC) in relation to current treatment equipment.
Due to the consolidation of equipment, the LCC becomes significantly
less when compared to the expense of existing treatment systems.
To perform the function of staunching blood loss in the field today, organizations must allot funds to order, stock, supply, and train for numerous pieces of equipment. The Emergency Bandage eliminates much of the expense. Training with the Emergency Bandage is easier and less expensive due to simplicity of application and user friendliness
