Type H Hemostatic Bandage

Type H Hemostatic Bandage

A Type H hemostatic bandage, a sealed compression dressing used to help control bleeding from a wound.

Typical use

Bleeding-control bandages combine an absorbent pad with a wrap that presses the pad onto the wound. They belong in first-aid kits and emergency bags, and are used by first responders while the patient is moved for further care.

Before you order

Ask what the H type designation means for this product and how the bandage is applied, and confirm the pad size and pack sterility. Check the shelf life, because emergency stock is often kept for long periods.
