Customer Reviews of Triangular Bandage by Dynarex - 12 Ea /Box
Customer Review: Very handy for any Scout or wilderness camper
Summary: 5 Stars
These are nifty bandages.
If any of you have had any Scout or wilderness first aid training, these are the bandages typically used for all those specialized bandaging jobs (e.g., ankle bandage, arm sling, collar bone immobilizer, head bandage). So, for Scouts, having a box of these handy makes lessons and demonstrations much easier than using neckerchiefs (which used to be much larger, but are now too small for most of the bandages). As a father with six sons, these have been invaluable for wrapping up and slinging sprained (and even broken) wrists and arms, and they work well for keeping ice packs in place, too.
Each bandage comes in its own zipper-seal bag, with a safety pin. I typically tie off my bandages with a square knot, but safety pins can always come in handy.
I added one of these to my personal first aid kit, and keep another one in a small survival kit. The cloth works well for starting fires if nothing else.
My wife got a box of these for my birthday last year. She knows how much I love the outdoors, and how much I love having the right gear. [I guess she might also be remembering how I broke my leg during a wilderness trip in 2006, and how I commented (when I got home) that we didn't have any triangular bandages in the first aid kit.]
Customer Review: They Appear to Be Fine
Summary: 5 Stars
On the product:
I have not used these yet, but they are individually wrapped and come just as described. The material looks rather thin, and I am not sure how well they will actually hold up if I were to use one as an improvised arm sling, etc. The weaves in the material are so scarce that you can see the "holes" created from the loose weaving. I am not familiar with how one of these bandages should be made, however, so that may very well be the best way to make these bandages.
On the seller:
The seller (AmericanWholesale) did a very poor job with shipping. The pictured box that the 12 bandages come in was completely torn apart because it was stuffed in a "padded envelope." I also received no packing slip. If I weren't already going to take the bandages straight out of the box into a water-tight box for my first-aid kit I would be upset at the poor shipping quality.
Anyway, I am happy with my purchase and have put them in my first-aid/survival kit for camping trips, etc. I will make an update if I ever use one.
Customer Review: Well packaged
Summary: 5 Stars
I haven't used any of these, but I like that they are each individually packaged in plastic bags, with clips, for handy storage and transport. I have put several in first aid and emergency packs.
