The Setopress High Compression Bandage is an essential tool for the Pressure Immobilisation Technique (PIT), a life-saving method used for the treatment of envenomations from all Australian snakes, Funnel Web Spiders, Blue-Ringed Octopus, and Cone Shell stings. This bandage is a must-have for those who spend time outdoors, whether you're working, hiking, or enjoying outdoor activities.
The Setopress bandage features a unique visual application guide that makes it easy to apply correctly under pressure, ensuring the right amount of compression is applied quickly. The bandage has two compression options: brown rectangles on one side for over 30mmHg of pressure (recommended for PIT) and green rectangles on the other side for 20mmHg. When stretched to the correct tension, the rectangles become squares, visually confirming that the correct pressure has been applied.
At 3.5m in length when unstretched, the Setopress bandage is long enough to completely wrap even the longest limbs, ensuring full coverage in case of a snakebite or other venomous injury. Its durable and reliable construction ensures it will perform when needed the most, and its comfort-focused design makes it suitable for prolonged use.
