Offering two compression options, the Setopress bandage has brown rectangles printed on one side (recommended for PIT), and green rectangles on the other. When stretched correctly the rectangles become squares which provide over 30mmHg (brown square) and 20mmHg (green square) of pressure. This easy to use visual guide ensures that the limb has the correct amount of pressure applied for a PIT.

Unlike other bandages, the Setopress is 3.5m long un-stretched. This is long enough to treat even the longest of limbs! Being able to completely bandage a limb is a must with snakebite.

Originally designed for the US Armed Forces to meet the challenges of successful IV access in stressful environments with challenging patients, the BOA Constricting IV Band by North American Rescue has become a critical component of successful IV cannulation in the tactical medical field.

For improved central venous access every time, the BOA ?uses a rolling action to transfuse venous blood to the distal veins while still allowing arterial flow. For maximum effect, the BOA is placed as high up on the extremity as allowable. This technique decreases time on task for treating combat casualties, civilian trauma patients, or medical patients with poor vascular access (for example, diabetic wound care).

Understanding the need and importance of the form, fit, and function of training devices, the HyFin Chest Seal Trainer provides a cost-effective solution to equip providers with the best training alternative, other than using the actual device, for both vented and occlusive chest seals. Specifically designed to increase user familiarity, the HyFin Chest Seal Trainer utilises the same template as the HyFin Vent Chest Seal Twin Pack but uses a less aggressive adhesive designed for effective chest seal application on both human skin and a training manikin. This allows for training of proper placement of not only the chest seal itself but also of the vent over a simulated wound.

Packaged in the same rugged, compact foil pouch, the HyFin Chest Seal Trainer also features a unique perforated package that allows the student to open only one chest seal if needed. Made in America and 100% latex free, NAR packages each chest seal using its signature Red Tip Technology red tear notches in a rugged, easy-to-open, foil pouch to ensure high-quality performance.

Features:

• Cost effective training solution
• Unique adhesive gel formulation designed not to damage manikins or leave behind excessive adhesive residue
• Designed for optimal training in the same form and function as the HyFin Chest Seal
• Each seal also comes with a gauze pad to wipe the wound surface prior to chest seal application as needed
