| Popis: | The article was written as part of the development project entitled “Dressing kit for protecting injuries suffered by uniformed services while performing official duties” No. DOB-BIO6/19/98/2014, co-financed by the funds from the National Centre for Research and Development under competition No. 6/2014 for the implementation of projects in the field of scientific research or development work, within the area of state defence and security. The project's result will be the PLEMODS dressing kit, intended for saving the life and health of uniformed service officers who have suffered injuries while performing their duties. The kit was developed in response to the needs of both the police and the Polish army. The project owner is the police, however, in line with the project assumptions, the kit is dedicated to be used as service equipment of other uniformed services as well. The article presents the premises and conditions that the project team followed when developing the concept of the dressing kit and the functionality of its individual elements. The answers obtained from the research conducted to verify the functional properties of the PLEMODS dressing kit, indicated the need to introduce design changes in the developed model. At the same time, the high comfort of using the PLEMODS dressing kit while performing official duties was confirmed, as well as the effectiveness of the applied innovative solutions in the scope of treating bleeding wounds. |
