In today’s volatile situation, it is critical to be prepared for emergencies. Military first aid is the immediate care provided to soldiers who are injured or ill on the battlefield or in a training environment. Soldiers are at risk of suffering life-threatening injuries such as gunshot wounds, blast wounds causing bleeding, shock, burns and broken bones. Using these Military Medical Supplies can save lives and prevent further injury.

 

What products are typically included in field first aid?

 

The field first aid equipment is an important instrument for emergency rescue of the wounded under field conditions, and the first aid equipment for war injuries can be functionally divided into bandaging equipment, haemostatic equipment, fixation equipment, and resuscitation equipment.

It plays an important role in saving patients’ lives, reducing disability, lethality and healing and recovery.

 

 

Here is a list of military medical supplies:

 

1. Bandage

Bandages are used to cover and protect wounds, reduce wound bleeding, and promote rapid healing of various skin wounds, bedsores and other wounds.

 

2. Combat Application Tourniquet

Attrition due to blood loss in modern warfare cannot be ignored. Effective control of blood loss and hypovolaemic shock is of great significance in reducing mortality and improving survival rate.
Tourniquet is a common first aid equipment on the battlefield and can be said to be the first life-saving equipment for soldiers.

Features:
Fast, can achieve haemostasis within a few seconds.
Can be operated with one hand, even without the help of comrades or medics can quickly stop their own bleeding.

The CAT is very effective at stopping bleeding. It has been shown to be 100% effective in occluding blood flow in both upper and lower extremities.

3. Fracture Immobilizer

Fracture immobilizers are used for fracture immobilization to relieve pain, reduce shock and avoid vascular and nerve damage caused by movement of the fracture end.
Different types of fixation devices are suitable for different types of injuries. The functional diversification of fixation devices and the nature of adapting to different injuries satisfy the demand for diversity of first aid devices under field conditions.

(1)Cervical Collar

Given the incidence of traumatic spinal injuries, wearing a neck brace is one of the common measures in emergency care. Rescuers can adjust the size of the collar according to the exact neck size of the victim.

(2) Spinal Stretcher

Can not only fix the spine, both lower limbs and head, but also can be used as a stretcher. It has the dual role of fracture fixation and stretcher.It needs to be used with a head retainer for maximum benefit.

(3) Rolled Splint

Suitable for limbs, neck and other parts of the fracture external fixation, not subject to any environment and conditions. Multiple splints can be used as long lower limb fixation, and can also be used for neck, finger fixation and shoulder joint dislocation fixation.

(4) Inflatable Splint

The inflatable splint fits easily into a standard first aid kit when not inflated. It can be adapted to the injured limb faster than other types of splints and can effectively prevent the broken end of the fracture from piercing the surface of the skin, reducing the incidence of shock. It provides both better immobilisation of the fracture site and blood circulation, with less reduction in limb temperature after fracture immobilisation.

4. Resuscitation Equipment

Under field conditions, all patients in critical and life-threatening conditions are invariably associated with respiratory failure. Ensuring timely emergency ventilation ensures that vital signs are maintained, so it is important that ventilation equipment is efficient.

Military ventilators are typically more durable and portable than civilian ventilators and can operate in a wide range of temperatures and altitudes.

 

Applications:

1. Field medical: used to provide ventilation support to injured soldiers on the battlefield. This helps to save lives and improve outcomes for critically injured patients.
Medical evacuation is also used to provide ventilation support to patients during medical evacuation. This is especially important for critically ill or injured patients who require continuous ventilatory support.
2. Disaster Relief: It is also used to provide ventilation support to victims of natural disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes. This helps save lives and reduces the burden on civilian hospitals.

 

 

5. First aid kit

In future wars with strong time constraints, a lot of first aid will rely on self-rescue and mutual aid, but the complexity of the battlefield environment requires the portability of first aid equipment for good handling. It is important to find a robust first aid kit that contains basic medical supplies and equipment. Loading it with a comprehensive range of first aid and survival supplies and ensuring that its contents are protected and easy to use will work in your favour when it comes to getting follow up medical care on the battlefield.

6. Military Stretcher

The significance of the stretcher is the evacuation of the wounded from the front line. This usually occurs in the first echelon of medical evacuation, where the stretcher bearer will transport the casualty across rough terrain to a battalion or regimental aid station, where the casualty will receive further triage. When folded, its size makes it easy to store in aircraft and other compartments of limited size, meaning that more beds can be stored in tight places.

7. First Aid Blanket

First aid blankets are included in many emergency, first aid and lifesaving kits as they are often waterproof and windproof, making them ideal for reuse in extreme environments. This, coupled with their light weight and ability to fit into tight spaces, makes them ideal where space is limited. Hypothermia poses a risk of shock and blankets must be used to wrap around the casualty to avoid heat leakage. Meanwhile the metal material flashes in the sunlight and can be used as a temporary distress beacon for searchers.

8. Body Bag

A body bag is a special type of body bag designed for military purposes. These body bags are used to transport and store the remains of servicemen killed in action or in the service of their country.

It protects the remains of fallen soldiers from natural disasters. These bags are designed to be waterproof, windproof and airtight. This means they can withstand extreme weather conditions and can protect the remains of fallen soldiers from moisture, dust and other environmental factors that could compromise the integrity of the body.

Conclusion

This military medical supplies list helps them to use these products quickly and accurately for self-protection and rescue in emergency situations. The specific content and quantity of the field first aid list should be adjusted according to the actual situation to ensure the effectiveness and timeliness of first aid. In conclusion, the procurement of field medical supplies is a very important task that requires comprehensive consideration of all factors to ensure that frontline personnel receive timely, safe and effective first aid services.
