I am not sure if this is the same product here in the states we generally refer to as Kling (trade name, there are other brands, that are as good). If so, we use it extensively for everything from applying to dressed wounds, wrapping an extremity to a splint, as added security in C-Spine immobilization, securing I.V. sites, etc. Again, if this is the same product, I would highly recommend it be added to everyone’s FAK.
