The present disclosure provides, inter-alia, an apparatus for wound-dressing. In particular, embodiments of the disclosure provide a wound-dressing apparatus comprising a wrapping element and a pad element, wherein the pad element is foldable and comprises at least one removable portion.

Embodiments herein comprise a hemostatic composition comprising a plurality of liquid expandable articles capable of expanding upon contact with a liquid. A suitable composition comprises a plurality of liquid-expandable articles that may be mechanically uncoupled from one another and therefore may be capable of moving independently from one another. The plurality of liquid-expandable articles may comprise a compressed material capable of a high-degree of expansion upon liquid contact.

A kit that includes a bandage adapted for mucosal membrane hemostasis, and instructions using the bandage is disclosed. The bandage can include a liquid permeable pouch, and at least one sheet of absorbent material within the liquid permeable pouch. The instructions can include rolling and/or folding the bandage, placing the rolled and/or folded bandage proximate the site of the bleeding, and applying pressure to the bandage. Methods of utilizing the bandage and the kit are also disclosed.

An energy delivery system for controlling blood loss is provided. The system includes an energy-activated patch configured for placement on tissue. The patch includes an energy-delivering layer configured to deliver energy to the tissue. The system also includes an energy source in operative engagement with the energy-activated patch for energizing the energy-delivering layer.

Wound closure devices and related methods. In one example, a wound closure device includes a release liner and several wound closure meshes held in a removable fashion to the release liner. The release liner includes a main body and several tabs, with the tabs secured in a detachable fashion to the main body. Each wound closure mesh is held in a removable fashion to the main body of the release liner and at least one of the tabs, with the tab including a portion that extends outwardly from an outer perimeter of the mesh to which it is held.

A first aid medical treatment apparatus, wherein the apparatus' case and duct tape allow for efficient and easy use and creation of different bandages without necessitating every type of bandage being part of the first aid kit.

The present invention relates to a quick application bandage for medical applications to prevent instant loss of blood or other bodily fluid. The bandage does not require any adhesive, straps or other attachment applications for quick attachment to the living appendage. The bandage is constructed of deformable metal members or bands embedded in padded bandage materials to enable compression around the injured area or bodily member. The snap compression bandage is adaptable for reuse and will return to its original shape after each application. The bandage is especially useful for first responders or military personnel such in naval or army operations where injuries may require immediate urgent attention.

A device delivers a sterile hemostasis material to wounds with: a packet comprising a non-porous surface with an pocket and a surrounding edge structure, the packet having a leading edge and a rearward edge; within the packet is a sterile hemostatic mass capable of clotting mammalian blood when it contacts mammalian blood; a bottom layer attached to the surrounding edge structure secures the sterile hemostatic mass within the packet, said bottom layer having a first end and a second end corresponding to the leading edge and the rearward edge of the packet; and a lower structural element below the bottom layer is adhered to at least the first end of the bottom layer such that when the lower structural element is progressively pulled parallel to the surrounding edge structure, the first end of the bottom layer is progressively separated from the surrounding edge structure, exposing sterile hemostatic mass exposed.
