Stretch Wrap
Stretch Wrap
Stretch wrap is the next generation cling film. We have been using cling film in our first aid kits for the last 20 years from when we first started out in the outdoor industry and the concept of Remote First Aid was in its nascent stage.
Conventional cling film has a multitude of uses and is ideally suited to remote, high-hazard, industrial and austere environments for managing wounds, treating injuries and packaging casualties.

Stretch wrap is now seen more commonly including pitch-side at sporting events to manage musculoskeletal injuries before athletes are transferred to definitive care and in combat application under schmexy brand names such as Battle Wrap.
Stretch Wrap is included in all of our Responder bags and used on all of our courses.
