Vacuum-packed for optimal hygiene and sterility, this bandage is essential for first responders, emergency medical services (EMS), military medics, and healthcare professionals.

Indications
The PKD-01 is indicated for the immobilization and/or support of upper extremities following trauma or surgery. Its application spans all stages of pre-hospital and in-hospital care, including transport and medical evacuation.
Contraindications
This bandage is not suitable for situations requiring rigid joint fixation or where there is significant skin damage to the upper extremity. Caution: Insufficient immobilization during transport may result in the displacement of bone fragments in fractures or soft tissue injury. Conversely, excessive tightness can compromise blood circulation and nerve function.
