The HemGuard Targeted Pressure Bandage is a haemorrhage control dressing engineered to deliver focused point pressure where standard bandages fall short. A targeted pressure head, 4-way redirection system and built-in mechanical advantage make it easier to control bleeding at difficult sites, including the neck, axilla, groin and amputated limbs.
Product Description
Traditional elastic trauma bandages work well on straight limbs but are hard to secure on the neck, armpit, groin or an amputation stump. The HemGuard Targeted Pressure Bandage is designed to solve this. It combines four features in one intuitive dressing, allowing responders to generate strong, controlled point pressure and keep the dressing firmly in place on almost any part of the body.
Built for speed, control and reliability, HemGuard suits paramedics, military medics, police, fire and rescue, industrial safety teams and trained civilians. It belongs in every serious trauma kit and public-access bleed control kit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the HemGuard Targeted Pressure Bandage?
The HemGuard Targeted Pressure Bandage is a trauma dressing designed to apply focused point pressure on bleeding wounds. It features a targeted pressure head, a 4-way redirection system and built-in mechanical advantage, making it effective on difficult areas like the neck, armpit, groin and amputated limbs.
How is HemGuard different from a standard emergency or Israeli-style bandage?
Standard elastic bandages mainly apply broad circumferential compression and can be hard to secure on junctional areas. HemGuard focuses pressure directly over the wound with its pressure head and lets the wrap be redirected in four directions, improving pressure and retention on the neck, axilla and groin.
Can HemGuard be used on the neck?
Yes. HemGuard is designed to support neck wound dressings by delivering targeted pressure over the wound, without needing to wrap tightly around the neck.
Can HemGuard be used for groin and armpit bleeding?
Yes. Junctional areas such as the groin and axilla cannot take a limb tourniquet, and HemGuard is specifically engineered to anchor and apply pressure at these sites.
Can I use HemGuard with haemostatic gauze?
Yes. HemGuard can be applied over wound packing, such as QuikClot Combat Gauze, to maintain pressure and hold the packing in place.
What size HemGuard bandage do I need?
The 4" size suits limbs, the neck and compact first aid kits. The 6" size suits larger wounds, the groin, the axilla, the torso and amputations. Many kits carry one of each.
Is HemGuard latex-free?
Yes. The HemGuard Targeted Pressure Bandage is latex-free.
What is the shelf life of the HemGuard bandage?
HemGuard has a five-year shelf life when stored as directed.
Where can I buy the HemGuard Targeted Pressure Bandage in Australia?
The HemGuard Targeted Pressure Bandage is available in Australia from MyMedEquip, with fast dispatch for individuals, clinics, organisations and government buyers.
