is that an army field dressing? looks the same package as the ones i have

[bob]

yep Army field dressing

Steve will try to remember to take a series of photo,s

Tbh got them a while ago it was just another thread re Arb kits that reminded me.

Personally I think they would actually work and help rather than what most of us have in the box in the van

They are all within easy rip out reach in all the vehicles as well rather than hidden and forgotten about.

I hope the pictures do them justice

the plastic curved bit is so it can put pressure on that area underneath

the far end just clips on when wrapped and does hold it tight.

Honestly not sure but think this was a large

you could also look at tech med solutions website, we use theyre dressings. they come with built in velcro to stop the dressing unwinding if you drop it invaluable in a pressure situation i'm sure

Hi Bob,

 

We use the 4" emergency trauma bandages in our arb first aid kits, each kit comes with 2 vacuum packed "Israeli bandages", used by the worlds military for major trauma. Best available in my opinion and we have tested a few.

Just out of interest I need to get a more comprehensive first aid kit as I have no use for blue plasters how much is your kit and where cam I get it from?

[Theocus]

Definetly get an arbaid kit, we have one, it has everything in it for almost every possibility. Regardless of price i do not regret buying it, its one thing you should get the best of shortly followed by PPE! We used ours in anger the other day as i cut my hand and it was great although now a little bloody!

It might cost a bit more than normal but i would defo kick myself should one of my guys hurt themselves badly and all i had was a box of blue plasters.

The box is bright yellow, indestructible and well put together inside.
