American figures suggest that almost half of combat fatalities in the field in both Iraq and Afghanistan are caused by uncontrolled bleeding.

Colonel Hodgetts' Royal Centre for Defence Medicine team looked at what could be done and recommended that team medics, who make up one-in-four combat soldiers, get a special emergency bandage - the HemCon® Bandage.

Colonel Hodgetts said these bandages are vital to stop haemorrhaging. They become sticky on contact with blood and help clots to form. The bandages are particularly good for wounds close to the torso which are unsuitable for a tourniquet.
