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 multi-page label 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 Kleer-Format is the ideal product for this life-saving device as it can be opened in an instant to work as a memory aid in field conditions."

The kit is used when a person's upper airway becomes blocked, and provides all of the required components to perform the insertion of an emergency breathing tube. Pictorial instructions are attached to the product as a quick and effective reminder to the medic of the correct procedure.

Stephen Jarrold, Sales & Marketing Director at Denny Bros, explains, “The Kleer-Format is the ideal product for this life-saving device as it can be opened in an instant to work as a memory aid in field conditions. 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. This is the first time a Fix-a-Form has been manufactured for use in battle field situations and we ‘re pleased to be of help with the development of such an effective kit for front line use.”
