TRAUMA BANDAGE – Application on the arm

In the case of severe bleeding injuries to the arm, it is vital to act quickly and effectively to stop the bleeding and prevent further complications. The TRAUMA BANDAGE is an effective aid to achieve this. It is important to fix the bandage in place so that sufficient pressure is applied to the wound to control the bleeding. In our five-step guide, we explain exactly what you need to do to apply the TRAUMA BANDAGE correctly.

Step 1: Initial assessment and preparation

Ensure that you are in a safe environment and have the necessary first aid equipment to hand. Wear suitable protective equipment during treatment. Reassure the injured person and explain the measures to be taken.

Step 2: Putting on the TRAUMA BANDAGE

Remove the TRAUMA BANDAGE from the packaging and place the white dressing directly on the wound. Make sure that the sterile dressing completely covers the wound.

Step 3: Using the pressure applicator

Use the pressure applicator to tighten the bandage. This helps to apply even and sufficient pressure to the wound to stop the bleeding. To do this, use the opposite legs of the applicator.

Step 4: Wrapping around the arm

Continue wrapping the bandage around the arm. Make sure that each wrap is even and tight to ensure continuous pressure on the wound. The bandage should be firm but not uncomfortably tight.

Step 5: Final actions and securing

Secure the end of the bandage with the closure clip or by guiding it into where you have previously wrapped. Finally, check that the bandage is tight enough and does not slip. Make sure that the wound is well covered and that sufficient pressure is applied to the wound.

Correctly applying the TRAUMA BANDAGE ensures effective first aid for severely bleeding arm injuries. Our five-step guide provides you with the support you need to act quickly and efficiently in an emergency.
