TacMed™ Compact Trauma Bandage

Key Specifications

Product Overview

The TacMed™ Compact Trauma Bandage (CTB) answers a specific need in the tactical medicine space: a legitimate, complete pressure dressing that fits in a cargo pocket, khaki back pocket, or even a rear jeans pocket. At 1.8 oz and a compacted cube of L 4 in. × W 3.5 in. × D 0.75 in., the CTB is physically smaller than most cellphone wallets and lighter than most IFAK accessories — yet it deploys to a full 60 in. × 4 in. elastic wrap with an integrated sterile wound pad suitable for managing moderate extremity hemorrhage.

The CTB is flat-folded and vacuum-sealed, producing a rectangular package that stacks efficiently in any flat compartment. The vacuum seal maintains a compacted profile that resists the bulge and rattle of rolled bandages. An integrated elastic wrap provides the compression force needed for effective direct pressure application, and the sterile wound pad (5.5 in. × 4 in.) covers moderate wound sizes on extremities. Application is straightforward: center the pad on the wound, wrap the elastic circumferentially with tension, and secure. Intuitive instructions are included in the packaging.

The 6-year shelf life is consistent with tactical medical product standards and makes the CTB practical for long-term kit stocking. This is a TacMed Solutions product — the same Anderson, SC company that produces the OLAES and OLAES Hemostatic Bandage — ensuring manufacturing quality consistent with U.S. military-grade medical supply standards. At its unit cost, the CTB is the most affordable legitimate trauma bandage from a major tactical medical manufacturer, making it ideal for bulk kit stocking, public access bleeding control stations, and training scenarios.
