TacMed BLAST bandage

The BLAST® bandage was designed to provide the ability to quickly pack 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 about the same size as a 4" combat bandage. Our large non-adherent wound pad can be easily wrapped around the limbs and secured with the attached elastic wrap. It provides great sterile protection 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 covers a 19" x 19" area or be used to cover abdominal contents minimizing heat and moisture loss.The 'brakes' on the bandage help to prevent accidental unrolling of the elastic wrap during high load application multiple attachment points prevent the elastic from slipping during the wrapping process, creating a more secure, efficient bandage and reducing the risk of wound exposure during movement.
