Our outdoor scratch first aid stick is designed to address the common occurrence of scrapes during outdoor activities, while eliminating the inconvenience of carrying traditional scrape care equipment. Developed under the Band-Aid Antibiotics brand, BRUISE AID harnesses robust brand integration capabilities to consolidate essential care steps—cleaning, disinfecting, prevention, and protection—alongside emergency procedures like large wound bandaging and rapid hemostasis into a single, compact device. This innovative design not only maximizes space efficiency but also significantly enhances emergency wound care effectiveness in outdoor settings.
Measuring 13.5cm in length, the sleek design of BRUISE AID ensures it can seamlessly accommodate all necessary tools for scrape treatment. It features a compartment capable of holding 1.5oz of disinfectant, six sections of antibiotic bandages, and mini No. 1 bandages. Its compact size allows for effortless storage in any corner of an outdoor enthusiast's backpack, ensuring they can enjoy their adventures with convenience, comfort, and safety.
In emergency situations involving large wounds with uncontrollable bleeding, users can simply rotate BRUISE AID’s rear knob to access the gauze compartment for immediate hemostasis and bandaging. For smaller wounds, a step-by-step approach is recommended: adjust the gear to produce a water jet for thorough wound cleaning, switch to a fine mist for comprehensive disinfection, slide open the cover to apply antibiotic ointment directly to the wound, and finally, use the integrated Band-Aid to securely cover the wound. These four straightforward steps ensure effective and efficient wound care, tailored to the challenges of outdoor environments.
BRUISE AID represents a leap forward in outdoor first aid solutions, combining practicality, functionality, and user-centric design to meet the diverse needs of outdoor enthusiasts in managing scrapes and wounds effectively wherever their adventures take them.
