Everyone has a first aid kit at home equipped with various types of bandages or bandage patches. They are also in every bicycle or travel first aid kit, as this is the most basic protection against injury. This type of medical resource should also include a medical sling, which has many different useful uses. In the following text you will find information about the uses of a medical sling and its types, as well as who should equip themselves with one in the first place.
There are three basic types. The first is the triangular rescue sling, which is encountered most often and very likely that you also have it in your first aid kit. It can be used as a sling, but its real and first purpose is to quickly stop bleeding during traffic accidents. It works great as a compression and taming material, as well as when dressing larger body parts like the chest. The second is a bandage sling, which is designed to secure a limb in case of fractures and dislocations. It is best suited for this because it is made of a special nonwoven fabric, which is characterized by high strength even when bandaging a person of greater weight. There is also a nonwoven triangular sling, which is a combination of both of the above. It allows free flow of air and is especially useful for out-of-town trips - camping or cycling.
As you can see, there are various uses for such a sling, but that's not all. On the market you will also find medical sling for the head, which is a special type of bandage for use during burns - a special non-woven fabric allows air to flow freely and does not irritate the already damaged tissue. The second thing is that such a sling is much faster to bandage various parts of the body, including the head. As you know, during accidents, time is often the decisive factor of to be or not to be, so it is worth equipping yourself with accessories specially designed for bandaging various wounds or limbs, so that in the event of a dangerous situation you can provide help faster and more effectively.
A medical sling is an inexpensive and very important part of any first aid kit. During a night in the woods or a trip to the mountains, various unpredictable circumstances may occur, in which such a sling may come in handy. We strongly encourage you to buy one and supplement your medical kit with this useful trinket, which weighs only a few grams and takes up almost no space. In particular, the medical head sling is a very interesting item, allowing you to quickly and easily provide assistance to an injured person in a crisis situation. Its advantages are hard to list in one breath. First of all, ease of use, very good air permeability, material that does not irritate the skin and assistance in stopping dangerous hemorrhages are just a few of its advantages, and a keen eye is sure to find other interesting uses for it. One of them, for example, is to make an improvised water filter out of it.
The purchase of a medical sling should especially be considered by people working in emergency medical services. Sometimes a personalized dressing is missing or in a place that no one remembers for a long time. Retrofitting with this item will clearly improve the quality of work. Also, all those who are exposed to any injury while outdoors like cyclists, bushcrafters and soldiers (especially field medics) should check that this item is in its place in the personal first aid kit. Of course, each of us can purchase such a sling to feel a little safer at home as well, and expand our arsenal of home remedies with this clever, inexpensive item that can even save lives.
