Features of the 5 x 5 cm (2 x 2 in) Pressure Dressing

Designed to provide reliable fixation and hold compresses in place, ensuring continuous wound protection.

How to Install and Use Your Pressure Dressing

Application should be direct and firm. Tear open the sterile packaging, place the 2 x 2 pad directly onto the bleeding wound, and then use the attached bandage to wrap the limb. Pull the bandage with enough tension to slow or stop the bleeding, but be careful not to totally block arterial flow (check that extremities remain pink). Secure the end of the bandage by tucking it under a fold or using medical tape.

How to Maintain Your Emergency Dressing Stock

To guarantee the equipment's effectiveness during an accident, store your pressure dressings in a dry place away from direct light. Regularly inspect your first aid kit to ensure the pouches are not punctured. Although durable, these dressings have an expiration date that must be respected to ensure the product's sterility. Since they are sold individually, it is easy to replace exactly what was used after an intervention.

Usage Tips for Effective First Aid

This 2 x 2 inch format is specifically adapted for small extremities. For larger injuries on arms or legs, we recommend also stocking 4 x 4 or 6 x 6 inch formats. Remember that this dressing is for single use. Once the bleeding is controlled and the patient is taken over by healthcare professionals, the dressing should be disposed of according to biomedical standards.

FAQ Regarding 2 x 2 in Sterile Pressure Dressings

Can this dressing be used on a burn?

While sterile, its primary function is compression to stop bleeding. For a burn, a non-adherent dressing (like Telfa) or a gel dressing is preferable to prevent fibers from sticking to the burned skin.

Is the dressing self-adhesive?

o, it uses an attached stretch gauze wrap. To secure it firmly, simply tie the ends or use a small piece of medical adhesive tape.

Is this the appropriate size for a car kit?

Absolutely. Its compact size and versatility make it an excellent choice for travel or vehicle kits where space is limited but the risk of small cuts is present.
