The pressure immobilisation technique (PIT) was introduced for the treatment of Australian snake bites1 and is suitable for other elapid snake bites. It is also recommended for envenomation by a number of other animals. The PIT retards the flow of lymph by which venoms gain access to the circulation. It has also been shown that there may be inactivation of certain venoms and venom components when the injected venom remains trapped in the tissues by the pressure
bandage.

The AeroForm Snake Bite Bandage is also available in a shorter version for upper limbs and pediatric use.

• Wider and longer than most crepe or elastic bandages.
• Longer than most Snake Bite Bandages on the Market, ensuring that the bandage is suitable for entire adult leg immobilisation.
• Continuous indicators ensure you have the correct pressure over the entire limb.
• Suitable for the treatment of all Australian Snake and Funnel Webbed Spider bites, Blue Ringed Octopus and Cone Shell stings.

Use of the Pressure Immobilisation Technique According to ARC Guidelines*

The unique stitching technology ensures the correct pressure is evenly applied over the entire limb.
