Someone has suffered a significant trauma, and clothes or boots must be cut, so you've got your good trauma shears from XShear out. Because of the inherently longer emergency response time in the maritime workplace, the standard first-aid need to "stop the bleed" as rapidly as possible is accelerated. The first responders are almost always mariners, and we in turn are consistently inferior providers because, no matter how much training we receive, we don't do this for a living. Real proficiency is elusive and typically has a short shelf-life. Doing whatever you can to compensate for that can possibly make the difference in someone's surviving serious injury or not. Again, in trauma cases it's initially all about the need to stop the bleed. To that end you can turn to TacMed Solutions for the company's superior line of OLAES Modular Bandages. Coming in 4" and 6" sizes, they're all-purpose bandages great for getting serious, potentially life-threatening bleeding under control quickly. Going up a level in injury severity is TacMed's Blast Bandage which, among other uses, can be used to dress an amputated limb effectively and securely. |
