How does it work?

The pressure immobilisation technique (PIT) was introduced for the treatment of Australian snake bites and is suitable for other elapid snake bites. It is also recommended for envenomation by a number of other animals. The PIT retards the flow of lymph by which venoms gain access to the circulation. It has also been shown that there may be inactivation of certain venoms and venom components when the injected venom remains trapped in the tissues by the pressure bandage.

Benefits of the Snake Bite Bandages with Indicators

    • Wider and longer than most crepe or elastic bandages.
    • Continuous indicators ensure you have the correct pressure over the entire limb.
    • Suitable for the treatment of all Australian Snake and Funnel Webbed Spider bites, Blue Ringed Octopus and Cone Shell stings.

Snakebite wrapping practice

I bought these for my homeschool class to practice snakebite as we have a lot of snakes here in the country where people and pets are regularly bitten. These bandages were an excellent price and the kids who used them found the shorter length more manageable than the longer bandages. They have added two of these to their first aid kits.
