Band to Stop Arterial Bleeding

This tape is vital in emergency situations because it allows rapid stopping of bleeding from arteries in the arms and legs.

Use of the Product

The band is wrapped tightly just above the bleeding area. This compresses the artery and stops blood flow. However, the band should be loosened within 20 minutes to avoid serious side effects.

While Transporting the Wounded

If the casualty needs to be transported, a note should be attached to the casualty stating the time at which this was done. This provides useful information to healthcare professionals and helps to provide more effective treatment.
