TRAUMA BANDAGE – Application on the head

In the case of severe bleeding injuries to the head, it is essential to act quickly and effectively to stop the bleeding and prevent further harm. A proven method here involves using a TRAUMA BANDAGE, this having been specially developed to provide secure support even for difficult injuries such as those to the head. In this context, securing the support over the chin plays a crucial role in preventing slippage. In our step-by-step guide, we show you how to apply the TRAUMA BANDAGE correctly and secure it over the chin.

Step 1: Initial assessment and preparation

Make sure that you are working in a safe environment and have the necessary first aid equipment to hand. Reassure the injured person and inform them of 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: First wrap

Start by wrapping the bandage around the head for the first time. It is important that the first wrap fits securely and covers the wound well.

Step 4: Pressure applicator

Use the pressure applicator to tighten the bandage securely. Wrap the bandage firmly – but not too tightly – so as not to obstruct the blood flow unnecessarily.

Step 5: Fixing over the chin

To prevent the support from slipping, pass the support under the chin. This fixation provides additional support and stability.

Step 6: Wrapping around the head

Tighten the bandage using the pressure applicator and then wrap it securely around the head. Make sure that it fits securely and does not slip.

Step 7: Final actions and securing

Secure the end of the TRAUMA BANDAGE with the closure clip. Finally, check that the bandage is tight enough and does not slip.

Correctly applying the TRAUMA BANDAGE and securing it over the chin is a crucial help during the initial treatment of severely bleeding head injuries. Our step-by-step instructions provide you with the support you need to act quickly and efficiently in an emergency.
