Instructions
Instructions for use:
Open scalp, head or facial wounds are first covered with primary sterile gauze dressing, after achieving adequate hemostasis with or without Combat Gauze. COMBATECT is then placed as a secondary dressing. COMBATECT has 3 components: the hat, the chin sling, and the facial band. (Fig. 1)
I. Hat:
1. Put it on as you would a normal hat covering both ears completely, with Velcro patches on the hat directly above the ears on both sides. The logo should go to the front, just left of the midline. (Fig. 2)
2. Additionally, the hat has a 3” pre-folded, circumferential pocket which serves as a continuous compartment to accommodate any additional gauze sponges if and when additional focal pressure is desired to help with hemostasis. (Fig. 2)
3. The 3” fold should be maintained as you put on the hat, and adjust as necessary by folding more or less after pushing it all the way on for optimal fitting.
II. Chin sling (the shorter of the two bands):
1. Hold the chin sling in front of you with the Velcro ends facing upward.
2. Place the mid-portion of the sling against the chin, then pull both ends superiorly above the ears, then secure Velcro attachments on both ends. (Fig. 3 & 4)

III. Facial band (the longer of the two bands with a horizontal slit in the middle, which is the nos
1. Hold the band in front of you with the single Velcro strip held in the left hand, facing you. (There are two Velcro strips on the other end, facing the opposite direction for overlapping securement.) (Fig. 5)
2. Place the horizontal slit (in the middle of the band) over the nose, and pull both ends of the facial band posteriorly.
3. Secure the overlapping Velcro attachments in the back. (Fig. 6 & 7)
4. COMBATECT may also be used to prevent or mitigate hypothermia.
5. The facial band may also be applied either vertically (Fig. 8) or horizontally (Fig. 9), to add additional compression for improved hemostasis, depending on the bleeding location.
