Snake Bite Bandage with Indicator (Suits Arms)

This is the one to grab if you're practising, not just packing. At 10cm x 4m, it's sized for upper limb pressure immobilisation and paediatric use — wraps an adult arm from fingers to shoulder, or a child's leg, in a single roll. Same construction, same continuous tension indicators as the long version, just in a size that's easier to run through the technique a few times without feeling like you're wasting a full leg bandage doing it.

Fits any of our snake bite kits, or any existing first aid kit. If you need coverage for an adult leg, you want the long bandage (10cm x 10.5m) instead — 4m isn't enough for full adult lower limb immobilisation, and stretching it to try is exactly the kind of thing that goes wrong under pressure.

• 10cm x 4m stretched — correct length for arms and paediatric use Sized to wrap an adult arm or a child's limb completely from the bite site upward, in one roll. Most Australian snake bites happen on the lower limbs, but upper limb bites do happen, and kids need a shorter bandage than adults regardless of where they're bitten.
• Continuous tension indicators over the entire length Your instinct will be to guess how tight is tight enough. Don't — printed rectangles turn to squares when you've reached correct compression, continuously along the whole snake bite bandage, not just near the start. Too loose and it won't slow the venom. Too tight and you've cut off circulation instead. Correct pressure matters more than most people realise — and this is exactly the size bandage to practise on until it's second nature.
• Heavyweight conforming bandage — not a standard crepe Purpose-built for pressure immobilisation, not repurposed from a wound dressing. A standard crepe or elastic bandage loosens the moment someone moves — this one's woven to hold its compression once it's on, so what you practise with is what you'll actually use.
• Suited to snake bites, funnel-web spider bites, blue-ringed octopus, and cone shell stings One bandage, one technique, four different creatures — that's the whole point of pressure immobilisation. It's not the right call for redback spider bites, jellyfish stings, stonefish, or scorpion stings — read our guide if you're not sure which applies.
