Safety First Aid HypaBand Triangular Bandages – Pack of 6 (D3936PK6)

Description

Genuine Safety First Aid · Part no. D3936PK6

Safety First Aid's D3936PK6 is a pack of 6 HypaBand triangular bandages, each wrapped on its own to stay clean until needed. A triangular bandage is one of the most versatile items in a first aid kit: folded into a sling it supports an injured arm, or opened out it covers a hand, foot or scalp wound over a dressing.

Good to know

• How do I make an arm sling? Lay the bandage across the chest with the point at the elbow, bring the lower end up over the injured arm to the neck, and tie it so the hand sits a little higher than the elbow.
• Are these sterile? The maker lists the range in sterile and non-sterile, calico and non-woven versions without saying which this pack is, so put a sterile dressing on any open wound first.
• Why keep several? One can be a sling and a second a broad bandage tied round the body to hold the arm still, and spares cover more than one casualty.

Which one?

For an open wound under the bandage, the HypaCover Large Sterile Dressings – 18 x 18cm (D7632PK6) are the matching pad; a complete kit in a bag is the One-Person First Aid Kit (K3004).
