OSNovative Systems, Inc., developer of proprietary devices for advanced wound management, has launched Enluxtra-E bandage, a new emergency bandage specifically designed for victims of terrorist attacks, military personnel on the battlefield, and disaster preparedness.

The new emergency bandage is based on the company's best-selling Enluxtra wound dressing. Its goal is to improve the survival rate for people caught in extreme situations without medical help. This includes combat casualties, individuals injured by explosion blasts, and those trapped without supplies as a result of various disasters or in the wilderness.

Enluxtra-E bandage fulfils urgent wound care needs with the help of innovative technology when the majority of professional medical care teams may be diverted to emergency areas of higher priority. Any wounded person can use this bandage as a first-line defence to control bleeding, protect the wound from infection, and boost fast healing crucial for survival, according to a press release.

The super-absorbent polymer dressing material absorbs and retains fluids even under compression, stopping the bleeding and depriving pathogens of water necessary for their replication. The advanced life-saving technology helps increase the 72-hour survival rate, a critical time window before professional care is administered.

Enluxtra-E bandage can be applied by anyone using just one hand. An easy to use self-adhering elastic wrap securely holds the bandage in place. It is currently available in one size with a shelf life of 3 years. Enluxtra-E bandage is useful as both a first field dressing and in combat support hospital settings. It also addresses civilian emergency needs for various types of wounds as well as thermal, chemical, or radiation burns.

Oleg Siniaguine, OSNovative's founder said, “We have created this new product to help save lives. The essential advantage of Enluxtra-E emergency bandage is its ability to protect the wound from infection and prevent the development of serious life-threatening issues such as gangrene or sepsis, and its proven versatility in healing many different types of wounds and burns.” (GK)
