Frequently Asked Questions

 

What type of wounds is this trauma dressing suitable for? ▼

This trauma dressing is made for serious bleeding injuries, such as lacerations, deep cuts or penetrating wounds, where rapid blood loss must be controlled. The highly absorbent pad and pressure bandage help to stem bleeding and protect the wound from contamination.

Does the dressing come sterile and ready to use? ▼

This trauma dressing is sterile and individually wrapped, making it suitable for immediate first aid application.

How does the 15 × 18 cm size benefit workplaces? ▼

The 15 cm × 18 cm pad has a large wound coverage area, allowing for effective pressure and absorption for moderately large wounds. This makes it a good choice for workplace first aid kits where major bleed injuries are a possible hazard.

How should the dressing be applied to control bleeding correctly? ▼

It is recommended to apply the dressing with clean or gloved hands. Start by placing the pad directly over the wound, and wrap the bandage to apply pressure, and secure the dressing with the Velcro fastener. It is important to monitor circulation, as the dressing should be snug enough to stem bleeding but not so tight as to impair blood flow. If blood soaks through the trauma dressing, apply a second dressing layer over the first.

How often should you check or replace stock of this dressing? ▼

It is advised that stock should be checked often, especially after any use. Sterile dressings should be replaced once packaging is opened, if the dressing is used, or if they are expired; generally stock always has 4-5 years expiry.
