Wound packing saves lives. Jez walks you through why packing gauze is a non-negotiable in any trauma kit, and how much time QuikClot Combat Gauze can save you in a real emergency situation.

Did you catch it? Let us know in the comments how quickly this incredible product can stop arterial bleeding in its tracks.

Remember — Bleeding control is about pressure, not absorption.

Placing a dressing over a deep wound won't stop the bleeding, but packing the cavity with gauze fills the space where blood pools, placing direct pressure on the actual bleeding site and giving the body's clotting cascade the best chance to work.

The all-in-one OLAES Modular Trauma Bandage featured in this video has 3 metres of packing gauze built in, so you're not hunting through your kit looking for the right gear.

Is the OLAES already in your kit? 👇

This training scenario featured a high thigh impalement with active arterial bleeding. ANZCOR recommends “all arterial tourniquets should be applied in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions (or 5 cm above the bleeding point if no instructions) and tightened until the bleeding stops.” In this case the wound was too high on the thigh to allow 5cm space for the TQ.
 
When a tourniquet isn’t an option, direct wound packing with haemostatic gauze and sustained direct pressure is your next best move.
 
So, what would you do? Let’s discuss in the comments...

A landscaper recently shared a story with us. He was clearing an overgrown rural property, working through a pile of brush with his whipper snipper, when a red-bellied black snake came flying out. He jumped back, lost his footing, and rolled down a hill — and the snake kept coming. It struck at his leg but thankfully only caught his heavy work pants.

He got lucky. Not everyone does.

Summer's not over, and neither is snake season. The TacMed Snake Bite Kit has everything you need to treat a snake bite while waiting for emergency services to arrive and gives you piece of mind while exploring the Aussie great outdoors. Swipe to see what's inside.

Needle decompression is one of the first line treatments for tension pneumothorax but healthcare providers have long faced a fundamental challenge... How to confirm a successful needle placement in chaotic, noisy environments where listening for a "rush of air" is almost impossible.

The Capnospot by changes that. This compact, lightweight device attaches to your decompression needle and changes colour from blue to yellow when carbon dioxide is detected, for immediate visual confirmation.

If you're interested in learning more about the Capnospot for your team, get in touch at info@tacmedaustralia.com.au or call 1300 862 633.

PART TWO: Yesterday Jez showed you the figure-8 technique to bring your patient's feet back into natural alignment. Now here's how to properly position and secure a SAM Pelvic Sling.

One of the most common mistakes when splinting the pelvis is wrong placement. Your splinting device must sit over the greater trochanters - NOT the iliac crest.

The SAM Pelvic Sling's force-controlled design removes the guesswork on how much compression to use. Pull the strap until you hear the click, then lock it with Velcro and you're done. This is a great kit addition for anyone providing trauma care in more remote settings.

Do you carry this in your kit? Let us know in the comments,
