The OLAES Modular 6\u2033 individual dressing<\/strong> by TacMed Solutions is the larger version of the multi-purpose OLAES dressing \u2013 for more extensive wounds and wounds on the thigh, arm or torso. It is used by paramedics and people trained in tactical first aid. It is vacuum-packed in sterile, hermetic packaging (approx. 15 \u00d7 5 \u00d7 4 cm) that can be attached to a vest or helmet or stowed in a backpack.<\/p>\n

Inside the compress (15 \u00d7 15 cm, non-adherent) there is rolled sterile gauze 10 cm wide and approx. 260 cm long. The gauze can be used to pack the wound and apply precise pressure to the bleeding point \u2013 including entry and exit wounds at the same time \u2013 and to clean around the wound. The gauze is then covered with the compress and secured with the elastic bandage (15 \u00d7 120 cm). Thin transverse hook-and-loop strips on the bandage prevent the dressing from unwinding accidentally.<\/p>\n

The dressing also contains an 11 \u00d7 11 cm film that can be used as an occlusive dressing for a chest wound and as insulation. The dressing is single-use. A smaller version is the OLAES Modular 4\u2033<\/a>. The OLAES Modular 6<\/strong>\u2033 individual dressing is worth having in your rescue bag and on your vest.<\/p>\n

Why the OLAES Modular 6\u2033 individual dressing?<\/h2>\n
