Customer Review: Very handy and affordable
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a good multipurpose bandage/dressing for a home or office first aid kit, and I know of some fellow EMT's who use it as well. Basically, it comes packaged as a rolled-up fabric material with a 5x9 non-adhering pad attached. The fabric works as either an absorbent dressing, or a bandage depending on what you need. This is nice because it makes it multi-purpose: for a serious bleed you can leave it rolled up and you have a ton of absorbent material; I'd wager that this product would soak up at least as much blood as a roll of standard gauze. This saves you from having to constantly slap on more 4x4 pads as they soak through, which is the traditional way. Alternatively, you can unroll it and you have a 5x9 pad for abrasions or burns, and you can then use the unrolled material to bandage or secure a splint.
For life-threatening bleeds, I'd still prefer that every kit have a CAT tourniquet and a couple packets of a hemostatic (QuickClot, etc). But those products are expensive, and realistically (and unfortunately) most homeowners and companies are not going to spend $100 on a first aid kit that they think they'll never use. This product, at about $2.50 apiece, is still a vast improvement over the "band-aids and aspirin" which you usually find in the typical pre-made kit, and which are downright useless for serious trauma.
All in all, it's a very good product which can potentially replace several others in a trauma bag or first aid kit.
