Case Study No.10 -
Battlefield medical instructions |

A medical kit designed for use by army medics in battlefield conditions is now carrying a Kleer-Format instruction leaflet from Denny Bros.
The over-laminated version of the traditional Fix-a-Form was chosen for its durability to combat the moisture and damp associated with normal outdoor use. The manufacturer of the sterile Tracheotomy kit was looking for a method of applying a quick reference pictorial guidance of the procedure.
The kit would be used when a person's upper airway has become blocked. It provides all of the required components to perform the insertion of an emergency breathing tube. The pictorial instructions are attached to the product as a quick and effective reminder to the medic of the correct procedure.
Explains Stephen Jarrold "The Kleer-Format is the ideal product for this life-saving device as it can be opened up in an instant to work as a memory aid in field conditions. The eight diagrams reveal the full pictorial sequence in one easy-to-view strip."
"It's another clear example of how the Fix-a-Form concept can work to excellent effect with medical devices that need to carry clear and precise instructional information."
Stephen added, "This is the first time a Fix-a-Form has been manufactured for use in battle field situations and we are pleased to be of help with the development of such an effective kit for front line use."
