Abstract
A trauma dressing article includes a body on which a cap of absorbent material is disposed. A wrap strip is attached to the body at one end of the wrap strip. The trauma dressing article is particularly suited for treating wounds at junctional locations of the body (e.g. armpits, groin) to prevent exsanguination. The body of the article is oriented such that the absorbent material is positioned towards the wound site, and then the body is moved to press the absorbent material into the wound site. The wrap strip is then wrapped around portions of the injured person's body and over the article to create an inward pressure against the wound site.
