Application per the manufacturer: place a sterile gauze pad on the wound; position the cap with the elastic anchor point behind the head; draw the elastic bands forward until the anchor is firm against the back of the head and secure the hook-and-loop fasteners to the front; add the chin strap and any additional compression straps as needed; then monitor and adjust. Reproduced as the manufacturer states it — it does not replace training. ▾Who Carries It EMS, fire and tactical/LE medics managing scalp lacerations, which bleed dramatically and tie up a provider under improvised wraps · Emergency departments and urgent care holding pressure while other injuries are worked · Industrial, event and remote-site responders where a head wound may be the whole call and staffing is thin. Applying external compression to a scalp wound is within the scope of most trained responders. Head and facial trauma can accompany injuries — skull fracture, spinal injury, altered mental status — whose assessment and management are separate clinical decisions that this device does not address.
