Bleeding Control

Filter

    Bleeding control equipment is designed to manage severe haemorrhage quickly and effectively in emergency situations. This includes haemostatic agents, pressure bandages, wound dressings, and wound packing supplies used to control life-threatening bleeding.

    At TacMed Australia, our Bleeding Control collection is built for real-world trauma care and trusted by first responders, medical professionals, and trained civilians. Pair these products with Tourniquets or Trauma Shears for a complete bleeding control solution.

    What is bleeding control equipment?

    Bleeding control equipment is used to manage heavy bleeding quickly, including pressure bandages, wound packing gauze, haemostatic dressings, and tourniquets for severe limb haemorrhage.

    What is an Israeli bandage?

    An Israeli bandage is a pressure bandage with an integrated pressure applicator designed to control significant bleeding more effectively than a standard dressing.

    When should haemostatic gauze be used?

    Haemostatic gauze is used for wound packing when direct pressure alone isn’t controlling bleeding, particularly for deep wounds where bleeding is difficult to compress.

    What’s the difference between a pressure bandage and wound packing?

    A pressure bandage is applied over a wound to maintain strong compression. Wound packing involves filling a deep wound cavity with gauze (often haemostatic) before applying pressure and a dressing on top.

    Does bleeding control replace a tourniquet?

    No. For severe limb bleeding, a tourniquet is often the fastest and most effective option. Bleeding control dressings are commonly used for junctional wounds or as secondary control after tourniquet application.

    What should a basic bleeding control kit include?

    A typical kit includes a tourniquet, pressure bandage (such as an Israeli bandage), wound packing gauze, gloves, and trauma shears. Many kits also include chest seals depending on the use case.
