Bandage

Sign in to edit

Bandages are medical items in ARMA Reforger.

Overview[]

« A bandage is used to fully stop bleeding from a single wound. Individual wounds can be selected in your inventory screen, otherwise the actually most serious wound is selected automatically. To use the item on others, one has to equip it (i.e. use it from an inventory quick slot), approach the injured person and use it on a specific hitzone.
Field Manual

Bandages are disposable, single use-only medical items designed to halt the effects of blood loss. Upon being applied, a Bandage will immediately stop bleeding caused by any sort of wound (gunshots, burns, impact, etc.).[SCR 2] Bandages can be applied either to the user themselves or onto another person if necessary.[1]

Compared to Tourniquets, Bandages are highly effective at treating severe wounds and will completely stop blood loss from a single injury.[SCR 2] They can also be applied to any part of the body - including the patient's head and torso/chest, whereas tourniquets are limited to the individual's limbs. Lastly, Bandages do not restrict the patient's movement and will not prevent them from being able to sprint after its application.[SCR 1][1]

The two main drawbacks to Bandages are that they take twice as long to apply and are instantly "consumed" upon use (Bandages are not reusable). Since an individual Bandage can only be applied to one wound at a time, a patient that has more than one open wound will require several Bandages in order to fully treat them.[1]

When quick-applying Bandages instead of targeting a specific wound, they will only be applied to the most severe of injuries first. Minor-moderate injuries on the other hand, have lower priority and will be left untreated until the user completely patches up all other severe wounds first and/or they obtain more after they run out of Bandages. Additionally, Bandages restore neither health nor blood. Any lost blood will not be recovered and must still be slowly regenerated over time or replenished with the help of a Saline Solution. The same applies to health, which needs to be regenerated with one or more doses of morphine as natural health recovery is simply too slow without morphine to speed it up.[1]

They are available in two forms:
