What is a tension indicator bandage ?

Designed for snake bite first aid (which is pressure immobilisation treatment), these bandages feature a built-in indicator for correct pressure application, every time. 

When bitten by a snake you need to act calmly and quickly. The standard first aid for snakes and funnel web spider bites is pressure immobilisation bandage from the tip of the limb to the top of the limb which has been bitten. (Tip to top!)

But applying the right pressure with a normal bandage can be tricky. Too loose, and the venom spreads. Too tight, and you can make things worse.

Tension indicator bandages make snake bite first aid super simple for you, or your kids. You can easily see you are doing the right job as you go. These bandages take the guesswork out of first aid. 

Every kit in our snake bite collection contains tension indicator bandages, so you can shop with confidence.
