Trauma

TacMed Australia is now stocking the AeroForm Snake Bite Bandage.

This bandage was purposely designed for the Pressure Immobilisation Technique (PIT), which is used for the treatment of all Australian Snake and Funnel Webbed Spider bites, Blue Ringed Octopus and Cone Shell sting.

The AeroForm Snakebite Bandage is 10cm wide and longer (3.5M) than most crepe or elastic bandages. This bandage stretches to an incredible 10m which is sufficient length to bandage a large adult leg. The unique stitching technology ensures the correct pressure is evenly applied to the entire limb. Both of these requirements are a must for the effective treatment of snakebite.

Features:

• Premium Heavyweight Conforming Bandage
• Indicators showing when the correct level of compression is achieved. (Check Gallery to see images)

This bandage is a definite must-have item in a remote or wilderness first aid kit!

In partnership with North American Rescue, TacMed is proud to introduce the addition of BurnTec Burns Dressings to our range. Used throughout Europe and the USA, BurnTec dressings are the latest hi-tech development in pre-hospital treatment of burns. BurnTec hydrogel dressings differentiate from all other burns dressings due to their 'stable-sheeting' hydrogel structure.

Owing to the stable-sheeting hydrogel structure, the BurnTec dressings guarantee even coverage and distribution of cooling activity over the entire burn surface - even for the most extensive of injuries. BurnTec dressings effectively cool the injured area and ensure a soothing effect for up to 24 hours. The sterile non-stick dressing is also absorbent, therefore trapping wound secretion and bacteria within the gel.

Permeable to water vapor and oxygen but impermeable to bacteria, BurnTec dressings protect wounds from external contamination while allowing them to breathe.

The composition materials are biocompatible and hypoallergenic. BurnTec has received recognition for its breakthrough innovation at the: -42nd World Exhibition of Inventions and Innovation Brussels Eureka -International Exhibition of Inventions (IENA) in Nurnberg -International Exhibition Genius in Budapest.
