The emergency tourniquet is used on a limb when direct pressure is not enough to restrict blood flow. The use of an emergency tourniquet can save someone’s life who is suffering from extreme blood loss from a limb.
The Haemostatic Dressing is a 100% chitosan dressing designed to control major bleeds in minutes. Chitosan works independently to the body's normal clotting process to accelerate the hemostasis phase of wound healing.
The Trauma dressings are highly absorbent dressing pads designed to absorb 10 times their own weight in exudates. Pressure can be applied and maintained quickly to a bleeding wound by easily securing the dressing with the Velcro style fastening, allowing pressure to be maintained for as long as required.
