Description

Medium Battle Dressings are used for larger wounds. They measure 7.25″ X 7.25″. While the Small Battle Dressings have two cloth (muslin) tails, the Medium Battle Dressings have four.

• Tear open the plastic covers and remove the dressing.
• Tear the inner paper wrapper and remove the Battle Dressing..
• Unfold the absorbent portion of the dressing.
• Place the white, absorbent side against the wound.
• Wrap the olive drab “tails” around the body and dressing to keep it firmly in place.

Wrap the tails around and tie the ends together.
