Where Did First Aid Bandages Come From?
The first version of the first aid bandage, that has become a widespread household item today, was created in 1920. Earle Dickson was a cotton seller and inventor who set out to use cotton and gauze to create a bandage fit for the nicks and cuts his wife incurred during her daily homemaking activities. Though they weren't immediately popular, BAND-AIDS and similar products have become a staple in first aid kits and first aid treatment.
Why We Need First Aid Bandages
First aid bandages come in a variety of shapes and sizes to accommodate the different types of wounds patients might suffer. As initial care, first aid bandages are the first line of defense against infection and the best effort to slow down or stop bleeding while waiting for medical treatment. Depending on the severity of the wound, the right bandage made of premium-quality materials could be the line between life and death.
That's why it's important to choose the right manufacturer for your medical supply needs. Among our medical supply offerings, Gauke Healthcare Co. Ltd manufactures a variety of first aid bandages. Below is a comprehensive guide to the types of bandages we offer and their uses.
Types of First Aid Bandages
1. Israeli Emergency Bandages
This multifaceted device was originally used in combat to treat hemorrhaging wounds before soldiers could make it to hospitals for medical treatment. Today, the Israeli Emergency Bandage is commonly used in civilian first aid. The bandage is designed for quick and easy application (with help or independently), employing pressure and a resilient wall of wound dressing to stop bleeding.
A sensible option in cases of traumatic wounds
2. Elastic Adhesive Bandages
This stretchy, breathable, non-woven fabric is used to support muscles and joints with compression. When wrapped properly, elastic adhesive bandages are great as a preventative measure against muscle pulls and tears, sprains, and other typically minor injuries.
Perfect for athletes who need a little extra support
Gentle compression for weak muscles and joints
Can be used on pets!
3. Triangular First Aid Bandages
This versatile device has a few different uses. Its most common function is as a sling, to protect an injured shoulder, elbow, or wrist by allowing the arm to rest. With various folding techniques, the triangular first aid bandage works to immobilize injuries to other areas of the body and – when folded upon itself – the padding can stop bleeding.
Arm sling for shoulder, elbow, and wrist injuries
Broad and narrow folds used to immobilize limbs and injuries and to stop or control bleeding
A pad for major wounds
4. Hemostatic Gauze Bandage
Hemostatic gauze is primarily used in emergency situations to stop life threatening bleeding. They are a great example of the importance of first aid when formal medical treatment is not yet available to patients in critical condition. The gauze is coated with granules that work to clot wounds and prevent further blood loss. An essential component or excellent addition to any first aid kit.
In cases of automobile accidents, gunshot wounds, and severe bleeding injuries
When tourniquet or pressure alone cannot stop bleeding
5. Cohesive (Self-Adhesive) Bandage
Cohesive bandages are ideal because they do not damage skin upon removal. Instead of sticking to other surfaces, a cohesive bandage sticks to itself. Its elasticity allows patients to apply varying degrees of compression, making the bandage adaptable to a range of uses. Greater stretch means greater compression while less stretch offers light support. Upon removal, the non-adhesive surface won’t pull hair or irritate skin.
Wrap minor injuries
Apply compression to joint and muscle injuries
Heavy compression can control bleeding wounds
6. Band Aid
Band aids are one of the most common first aid bandages used in every day first aid care. A combination of a cotton pad and adhesive strip make band aids a durable and reliable option for immediate wound control. The nonstick pad covers and protects wounds from infection, and fun designs make minor cuts and abrasions less scary for little ones. Breathable materials allow the skin to stay healthy and for proper healing to take place.
Protect minor cuts, scrapes, and abrasions
Some come with antiseptic, antibacterial, or medicine-infused pads to promote faster healing with extra protection
