Description

AEROFORM Snake Bite Bandage With Indicator 10cm x 4.5m


The AeroForm Premium Snake Bite Bandage with Continuous Indicators is a Premium Heavyweight Conforming Bandage. Perfect for use with the Pressure Immobilisation Technique, which is used for the treatment of all Australian Snake and Funnel Webbed Spider bites, Blue Ringed Octopus and Cone Shell stings. This bandage is of sufficient length to bandage upper limbs and pediatric use.

The pressure immobilisation technique (PIT) was introduced for the treatment of Australian snake bites1 and is suitable for other elapid snake bites. It is also recommended for envenomation by a number of other animals. The PIT retards the flow of lymph by which venoms gain access to the circulation. It has also been shown that there may be inactivation of certain venoms and venom components when the injected venom remains trapped in the tissues by the pressure
bandage.

The AeroForm Snake Bite Bandage is also available in a longer version.
