The Slishman Pressure Wrap (SPW) is a versatile, lightweight, and highly effective pressure dressing, designed to manage a wide range of injuries. Available in black or orange, the elastic wrap features a red slip sleeve that forms a lasso, making it easy to cinch and securely apply around an injured limb. Its compact and flexible design makes it an essential addition to IFAKs, go-bags, or larger first aid kits.
Ideal for both tactical and civilian use, the Slishman Pressure Wrap is also suitable for marine environments and veterinary applications. It can be used to protect wounds, stabilise extremities, or hold splints in place. The wrap is easy to use, requiring minimal fine motor skills, making it perfect for both trained medics and untrained first responders. The wrap is adjustable, allowing you to tighten it for hemostasis and loosen it to control pain and improve blood flow.

Slishman Pressure Wrap Instructions:
Loop the wrap over the injured limb and apply it to the injury (or simply wrap for entrapped limbs).
Cinch the red sleeve until snug.
Use a wide wrap for long lacerations, or a narrow, tight wrap for more severe bleeding (between the injury and heart).
Wrap the elastic all the way to the white label, then secure the hooks to the elastic.
Note the application time on the white label.
Adjust for pain minimisation while monitoring bleeding, pulses, sensation, and motor function.
Leave in place until definitive wound management can be completed as soon as possible.
Note: Do not encircle and tighten the wrap around the neck.
