The H-Bandage is the latest in Universal Severe Trauma Dressings. An upgrade to our patented combat dressing Cinch Tight, the H-Bandage gives medics and field personnel both an emergency dressing and a hemostat for arterial bleeding and hemorrhaging in limbs. The H-Bandage’s unique design allows for one-handed use under any condition. Designed for First Responders, Military, and Law Enforcement, the H-Bandage provides a fast, effective tool for all kinds of serious traumas and injuries involving arterial bleeding.

The unique design of the H-Bandage, with its 8″x10″ ABD pad and the unique 5 foot elastic wrap designed for both strength and flexibility along with the H-shaped cinch sewn into the bandage, allows it to satisfy multiple field needs. The H-shaped cinch allows for direct pressure to be applied directly on top of a wound, increasing compression and reducing blood loss.

The H-Bandage can be used easily and effectively as a field compression dressing and as a sling with improved stability, compression, and ease of use. Because of the strength of the proprietary elastic strap, the H-Bandage can also be deployed as a hasty tourniquet.

The H-Bandage has been clinically tested to stop arterial bleeding, making it a complete combat dressing whose multiple functionality makes it a truly comprehensive emergency trauma system. The following video, made by Tactical Response Gear, demonstrates the H-Bandage:  

The H-Bandage comes in two options and two different folds: our standard method, creating a rounder, tighter package, or with a flat fold to create a thinner but wider package. The H&H H-Bandage comes in a sterile, vacuum-sealed 4 mil barrier bag, flat folded to create a small tight package. For additional anti-bacterial treatment capabilities, the H-Bandage is available with an added Silverlon mesh sewn on top of the pad.

The H&H H-Bandage is standard issue in the following U.S. military kits:

• MES TACT CBT MED CARE (UAC 269A)
• MRS TACT COMBAT CARE (UAC 326A)

H&H BANDAGE TEST RESULTS

Clinical tests for arterial bleeding have indicated that the H-Bandage is successful in acting as a hemostat for arterial bleeding in limbs. The testing summary stated:

“The result of this experiment makes it reasonable to suggest that the H-Bandage is a suitable design to enable it to be used as an effective packed-focal pressure dressing for the control of non-amputation peripheral artery limb hemorrhage in soldiers on the battlefield.”
