Compression bandage for limbs
Whenever there is localized bleeding due to injury to limbs the only way to stop bleeding is to apply pressure on bleeding point. Surgiwear has developed a special pressure dressing for field applications.
It is easy to apply, sometimes with even a single hand. It is effective and gives required pressure on the point. There is a rigid ridge in Rakshika bandage. The ridge portion should be placed on the bleeding point.
