The BLAST™ Bandage was developed to cover wounds such as amputations, burns or extensive injuries as quickly as possible. Although when packaged it is only about the size of a bandage approx. 10 cm wide, it can be used to cover injuries of around 50 x 50 cm. The non-adherent wound pad can simply be wrapped around, for example, the abdomen and secured with the elastic bandage, providing extensive protection for, for example, shrapnel or burn wounds. Due to the size of the BLAST™ Bandage, almost the entire chest or the entire back can be covered.
In addition, the BLAST™ Bandage offers a removable occlusive layer measuring 47.5 x 47.5 cm, which can be used to protect abdominal injuries in order to minimise loss of heat and fluids. Each bandage is individually sterile and vacuum packed.
