Emergency Bandage - "..Accomplished with one hand"
 
Testimonial, September 22, 2008

A couple of years ago I was sent to Afghanistan to do some hospital construction. One of the items I was given in my first aid kit was one of your compression bandages (part # FCP-01 stock # 6510-01-460-0849). Yesterday I had a chance to see how well the worked. I was doing some wood carving and somehow managed to push one of my chisles into my wrist. In the process I punctured a vein. Lots of blood coming out real fast. I manage to loose about a pint before I got your bandage on.

When I finally applied the bandage I was able to accomplish it with one hand. The bleeding slowed immediately and stopped completely before I could get to medical help. Later in ER when they removed the bandage the wound was clean and sealed while the bandage was removed without sticking. I can compare your bandage to the one I was given in the 1970's and 1980's when I was on active duty. I have now used both in trama situations and while I would prefer not to have the occasion to use either, yours is so much better the the original. I don't know how many lives your bandages have saved but I want to thank you for each one, especially mine.
