BPC Wound Dressing
Use a BPC wound dressing to control bleeding from serious injuries.
A BPC wound dressing is a sterile, heavy-duty first aid dressing designed for large or serious wounds that are bleeding heavily. “BPC” stands for British Pharmacopoeia Compliant, indicating that the dressing meets strict medical standards for absorbency, sterility, and safety.
The dressing typically consists of a large, absorbent pad attached to a bandage, allowing it to be applied quickly and secured in place without additional equipment. This makes it especially useful in emergencies where rapid bleeding control is needed.
To use a BPC wound dressing, first open the sterile packaging and place the pad directly on the wound. Then wrap the attached bandage around the affected area to hold the pad in place while applying firm, even pressure to help control bleeding.
BPC wound dressings are commonly included in comprehensive first aid kits and are particularly important for workplace, outdoor, or high-risk environments. They provide an effective first response to serious cuts, lacerations, or trauma injuries until professional medical care can be accessed.
Open the sterile packaging carefully.
Place the pad directly over the bleeding wound.
Wrap the attached bandage around to secure it.
Apply firm, even pressure to control bleeding.
Seek medical attention immediately for severe injuries.
