Abstract A modular trauma management system 90 is provided which includes, in the most basic form, a number of multi-purpose uniquely structured elasticised pressure and/or support bandages 1 in combination with a novel modular framing support system based on a series of specially configured rods or tubes 20 and connectors. The bandages are connectable lengthwise to like bandages to form longer bandage lengths and the modular framing system can be used to create numerous forms of splints, supports structures, crutches, walking sticks and the like. The system may also include additional novel multi use elements that can further interact with the bandage and framing system elements, such as multi-function tourniquet straps, modular stretcher elements, a traction strapping system and a versatile sling system that includes a separate multi use strap element. These components are all configured to interact in numerous different ways with the other elements in the system, to enable in a preferred form a lightweight, highly versatile, environmentally tolerant system that can be used almost anywhere to manage an extremely wide range of trauma situations. 3-/ Figure 1 Figure 2 33 Figure 3L7L5/ l 72 5 *,-12 5 Figure 4 4 |
