The Use of Innovative Materials in First Aid

Abstract

The quality of first aid is affected not only by the adequacy, but also by the speed of the measures taken. Given the important factor of the lack of regular funds for providing assistance in the first minutes after an injury, combined with the lack of experience in first aid among the majority of the population, it is more likely to predict a low or ineffective result of such activities. We compared traditional bandage dressings and an innovative tool — a first aid signal tape.
