Using the Medelast® Blood Stopper Bandage is straight forward and effective for quickly stopping bleeding in emergency situations. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to use this essential first-aid tool:
Step 1: Preparation
Ensure your hands are clean or wear disposable gloves to prevent contamination.
Open the packaging of the Medelast® Blood Stopper Bandage, being careful not to touch the inner sterile surface.
Step 2: Assess the Wound
Examine the wound to determine its size and severity. If the bleeding is heavy or arterial, seek professional medical assistance immediately.
Step 3: Apply Pressure
Gently clean the wound with clean water or saline solution if available.
Apply direct pressure on the wound using a sterile gauze pad or clean cloth to control bleeding. Maintain steady pressure for a few minutes to encourage clot formation.
Step 4: Applying the Blood Stopper Bandage
Remove the Blood Stopper Bandage from its packaging, being careful not to touch the inner sterile side.Unfold the bandage and place the absorbent side directly over the wound. Ensure that the special material is in contact with the bleeding area.
Press down gently to help the bandage adhere to the wound and surrounding skin.
Step 5: Securing the Bandage
Wrap the ends of the bandage around the injured area and press down to secure them in place.
Make sure the bandage is snug but not overly tight, allowing for proper blood circulation.
The Blood Stopper Bandage's flexibility and conforming nature will help it stay in place without restricting movement.
Step 6: Monitor and Seek Medical Attention
Keep an eye on the wound to ensure bleeding has stopped. If bleeding continues or the wound reopens, reapply pressure and consider seeking medical help.
The Blood Stopper Bandage's ability to quickly stop bleeding provides a temporary solution. Professional medical attention may still be needed to fully address the injury.
Remember that while the Medelast® Blood Stopper Bandage is a valuable tool in managing bleeding, it's important to prioritize safety and seek professional medical assistance for serious injuries. Always follow recommended first-aid protocols and consult medical professionals when needed.
