AIRWRAP 4″ Compression Bandage w/Inflatable Bladder

The AIRWRAP® Compression Bandage is an innovative elastic bandage featuring an integrated inflatable bladder for precise wound pressure. Designed by and for combat medics, this bandage offers field-ready features that make it exceptionally easy to use in critical situations.

Key Features:

• Direct Pressure Application: The built-in inflatable bladder, operated by a standard bulb, allows first responders to apply constant, focused pressure directly to the wound from the moment of injury until professional medical treatment is available.

• User-Friendly Design: Small Velcro tabs at regular intervals prevent the bandage from unraveling completely if dropped, ensuring quick and efficient application even under stress.

• Versatile Inflation Options: The bladder includes a Luer-lock, enabling inflation with a syringe or a bolus of saline. This is particularly useful if the supplied inflation bulb is misplaced or when dealing with altitude changes during air transport.

• Sizes Available: Offered in both 4-inch and 6-inch configurations to accommodate various wound sizes and locations, making it effective for a wide range of bleeding injuries anywhere on the body.

• Reduces Treatment Time and Blood Loss: Studies show the AIRWRAP reduces treatment time by 50% and blood loss by 75% compared to traditional methods, significantly improving patient outcomes.

Special Applications:

• Tourniquet Conversion: Ideal for converting from a tourniquet, the AIRWRAP can be applied before removing the tourniquet to maintain bleeding control until definitive care is reached.

• Ruptured Dialysis Fistulas: Particularly effective for treating ruptured dialysis fistulas, it can be applied above the rupture and inflated to control bleeding without compromising the fistula, unlike standard tourniquets.

Benefits:

• Hands-Free Operation: Maintains constant pressure on the wound, allowing responders to address other injuries or patients without delay.

• Field-Tested Durability: Engineered for combat situations, ensuring reliability and effectiveness in the most demanding environments.
