Combat Medical Battle Bandage®
Details
The MARCH™ Battle Bandage® is the transparent compression bandage that exceeds the capabilities of traditional bandages and effectively stops hemorrhage in the harshest environments.
Battle Bandage® delivers the benefits of a transparent, high-performance compression wrap with the added convenience and efficacy of a sterile 8” x 8” cotton gauze pad. This high-performance compression dressing is self-adhesive and is the lowest cube tactical packaging available.
The transparent design allows for rapid reassessment. Battle Bandage® is constructed with a medical grade adhesive that is non-irritating and leaves no residue on the skin.
CLEAR – the first and only transparent compression bandage
LOWEST CUBE – one fifth the cube of the nearest competitor2
COMPRESSION – 550% elongation at break

LOWEST CUBE – one fifth the cube of the nearest competitor2
COMPRESSION – 550% elongation at break
- Clear, flexible, extremely strong
- 80-93% less cube than standard compression bandages2
- Tested to 5000psi tensile strength, 550% elongation at break
- Integrated, sterile 8” x 8” cotton gauze pad absorbs up to a liter of fluid
- Bleeding visibility allows for better hemorrhage control
- Superior compression equals superior hemorrhage control
- Non-slip and self-adhering medical grade clips or ties required
- Unique adhesive properties do not leave residue on skin
- Dual use – sterile bandage and stretchable compression wrap
- Protects wound and exposed skin from external contaminants
