SMART Bandage (Snakes & Funnel-webs)
The revolutionary SMART Bandage uses a clever pictogram to demonstrate how to achieve correct tension when applying a pressure immobilisation bandage – a critical factor in snake and funnel-web spider bite first aid.
This leading pressure bandage helps you keep calm and focused during an emergency, with the rectangle pictogram becoming a square to let you know when optimal tension has been achieved.
