Disclosed is a strip of bandaging material having Velcro.RTM. strips at
either end on opposite sides of the material. An absorbent pad is fixed
near one end and on the side opposite the Velcro.RTM. strip. On the side
opposite the absorbent pad, an S hook is provided with one end fastened
to the material and the other end free. The absorbent pad is located over
the wound and the longer end of material is wound around the extremity
and fixed in place with the Velcro.RTM. strip at the near end of the
material. The remaining material is passed through the hook and pulled
back in order to apply pressure to the wound and reduce blood loss. The
remainder of the material is wrapped around the extremity and secured in
place with a Velcro.RTM. strip and/or a barrette clip on the far end.
