OLAES 4” Modular Bandage

Field Brief

OLAES® Modular Bandage — 4 Inch

Overview
The OLAES® Modular Bandage (4″) is a multi-function trauma bandage built to manage real bleeding problems—pressure dressing, wound packing, and occlusive coverage—in one compact package. It was developed with input from experienced combat medics to be fast under stress, with features you can use when you need them and ignore when you don’t.

How It Works
This bandage combines an elastic wrap with built-in control strips that help prevent accidental unraveling during application. Inside the dressing system you also have:

• 3 meters of sterile 4-ply gauze (zig-zag packed to feed smoothly for packing)
• A removable plastic occlusive sheet behind the wound pad
• A transparent pressure cup that focuses pressure over the bleed site and allows visual inspection
  The pressure cup can also be removed and used as a rigid eye shield when needed.

Key Benefits

• Built-in control strips help keep the wrap controlled even if dropped
• 3 meters of gauze enables packing + dressing without opening a second product
• Pressure cup delivers focused pressure where it matters (not just circumferential tightness)
• Occlusive sheet supports chest/abdomen protection or occlusive needs in austere care
• Designed to be applied with gross motor movements—less fine dexterity required under stress
• Latex-free, compact, and purpose-built for trauma-capable kits

Recommended Applications

• Serious bleeding control when a tourniquet is not appropriate
• Wound packing + compression over junctional or complex wounds
• As a pressure dressing for moderate to severe hemorrhage
• When you want one bandage that covers multiple use cases in one package
• Tactical, vehicle, workplace, and home trauma kits

Why This Product
This is a “do more with less” bandage that prioritizes speed, control, and versatility. You’re not carrying separate gauze + pressure dressing + occlusive coverage—you’re carrying one compact solution designed specifically for the realities of trauma care.
