The BLAST® Bandage from TacMed™ Solutions was designed out of necessity to provide the ability to quickly package traumatic amputations, burns, and large pattern wounds with minimal use of supplies and effort.  

It provides a 20″ X 20″ treatment area, but packs to about the size of a 4” combat bandage and provides a large non-adherent wound pad that can be easily wrapped around limbs and secured with the attached elastic wrap. The covering area of the BLAST® Bandage is large enough to cover the entire back or chest of most casualties.

The BLAST® Bandage also offers a removable multipurpose occlusive layer that can cover a 19″x 19″ area or be used to cover abdominal contents minimizing the loss of heat and moisture.  

As with other TacMed Solutions bandages, the “brakes” on the bandage help prevent accidental unrolling of the elastic wrap during high-stress application. These brakes are especially helpful during the dressing of amputations. By providing multiple points of adhesion, the brakes prevent slippage of the elastic during the wrapping process creating a more secure, effective bandage and decreases the chance of the wound being exposed during movement.

A key part of TacMed Solutions™ mission is providing customers with a complete solution to equip, train and protect. This means that they try to consider all aspects of potential injuries or events and work to create a complete solution. The team strives to solve problems for both military and civilian missions.

The innovative problem-solving process often stems from a real-life injury or situation and begins by asking if the solutions available, or ones not available, were effective. From this initial insight, the team begins looking for ways to either create a solution or improve an existing one.

Historically, TacMed™ takes on problems that are both industry-wide and problems that are specifically brought to them.

For example, the Tramedic® public access line was a solution created out of industry need. At the time of inception, there was nothing else like it on the market. In a variety of situations, it has been extremely effective in creating a complete solution. In schools, Tramedic® is not just a solution for point of injury care for school shootings. It also prepares the customer prior so that they have an increased chance of success with Tramedic® Training and maintain the equipment through expiration tracking. In addition, there are aspects of the kits that ensure that they integrate with first responders and benefit them. Conversely, the Foxtrot® Litter was designed stemming from a problem brought to them by an end-user.

The solutions provided by TacMed™ all come from vast industry knowledge, understanding the customers’ situations, and even from their own experience.
