FAQs

How does the pressure indicator work?

The printed indicator guides you to apply the correct compression. When stretched properly, the shapes change — helping ensure PIT technique is followed effectively.

Can this bandage be reused?

No, it’s a single-use item. Reusing it can compromise its elasticity and hygiene — always replace after use.

Is this bandage suitable for all snake bites?

Yes. It’s designed for use on most venomous snake bites in Australia, as well as Funnel Web Spider bites, Blue Ringed Octopus stings, and Cone Shell stings. Always seek medical help immediately after application.

What is the Pressure Immobilisation Technique (PIT)?

PIT is a method to slow venom spread by applying firm pressure and immobilising the affected limb. This bandage is specifically engineered for safe and accurate PIT application.
