Abstract:

The hemostatic bandage kit and associated method of use operates to yield a rapidly deployable hemostatic wound treatment to enable medical personnel to more quickly respond to traumatic injuries involving massive blood loss, thereby saving lives. The hemostatic bandage kit does not require a medical facility, or alternatively, medical personnel or others in the field, to separately store or carry the components necessary to create a hemostatic wound treatment. All of the components are cooperatively stored in an integrated kit that is easily transported, stored, and deployed. The components include an inner membrane retaining a solvent therein, and an outer membrane retaining an absorptive material and a clotting agent, wherein the inner membrane is adapted to rupture and mix the solvent with the clotting agent and to saturate the absorptive material for application to a wound.
