The BLAST® Bandage was designed to provide the ability to quickly
package 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 to about the size of a 4" combat
bandage.
Our large non-adherent wound pad can be easily wrapped
around limbs and secured with the attached elastic wrap. It provides a
large sterile protective covering for shrapnel wounds and 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 will cover a 19" x 19" area
or can be used to cover abdominal contents minimizing the loss of heat
and moisture.
As with other Olaes® bandages, the "Control Strips"
on the bandage help prevent accidental unrolling of the elastic wrap
during high stress application. These brakes are especially helpful
during the dressing of amputations. By providing multiple points of
adhesion, the brakes prevent slippage of the elastic during the wrapping
process. This creates a more secure, effective bandage and decreases
the chance of the wound being exposed during movement.
