Reliance Maxi Flex Extra Large Multi-Use Dressing

The Maxi Flex dressing is an extra large bandage with multiple uses, made from a super absorbent stretch bandage material joined to a dressing pad, designed for situations where a standard HSE dressing does not give enough coverage or absorbency. It is intended for use when treating major injuries, where a larger wound or heavier bleeding calls for a bigger pad and a bandage long enough to secure it firmly in place.

First aiders, emergency service personnel and anyone trained to respond to more serious incidents are expected to have access to a dressing like this alongside the standard content of a workplace kit. It is worth noting that this dressing does not contain super absorbent powders, relying instead on the absorbency of the stretch bandage material itself.

As an item number 339 product from Reliance Medical, it is typically stocked in major incident kits, ambulances and trauma response bags rather than a basic first aid box, giving responders a larger scale option when a routine dressing would not be sufficient.
