Introduction to Bandages

---

The FM outlines our core skills, policies and guides to ensure every member stands ready for the mission ahead.

All personnel are equipped with bandages to provide initial treatment for wounds until they can receive more advanced medical care. There are four distinct types of bandages, each varying in the time required for application and the duration of effectiveness. 

• Elastic bandages are recommended for situations where quick application is crucial, despite their lower durability. 
• QuikClot bandages are best for long-lasting wound protection, offering the highest endurance. 
• Packing bandages present a balanced option, optimising for application speed, wound coverage, and durability.
