[QUOTE="Pete E, post: 557293, member: 18110"] I know you guys favour elasticated bandages to a apply compression wraps in the event of snakebites... Normal crepe bandages are not really up to the job but the recommended elasticated compression bandages can be fairly expensive especially if say you want a couple in several kits maybe for each family member for instance. While a medic in the Army Reserves I came across a product called Sports Wrap by a company called HyHealth...it's actually a vetinary product meant for horses and it is elasticated bandage/tape that comes in 10cm x 4.5m rolls. It sort of sticks to itself and we used it a lot for strapping up sprains ect...it's far better than crepe and far cheaper than say Setopress but it does lack the printed rectangles to indicate the correct pressure. Since leaving the Reserves, i tend to keep a couple of rolls in various first aid kits, and while repacking one today, it struck me it might be useful for you guys.. [/QUOTE]
