Combat TraumaWear – Open Humerus Fracture

Description

The Combat TraumaWear – Open Humerus Fracture is a high-fidelity wearable trauma simulation unit designed to replicate severe upper-arm injuries resulting from blast, blunt force, or fragmentation trauma in modern combat environments. This TraumaWear unit represents open fractures where significant soft-tissue damage and external bleeding are present.

Developed using operational feedback from contemporary conflict zones, including injury patterns reported during the Ukraine conflict, this wearable reflects the complex presentation of open humeral fractures encountered when explosive forces or secondary projectiles impact unprotected limbs. These injuries present critical challenges for haemorrhage control, splinting, and casualty movement.

The wearable incorporates realistic fracture presentation and integrated bleeding capability, allowing trainees to practise external haemorrhage control and fracture management techniques under pressure. As this injury is non-packable, it supports decision-making around bleeding control, stabilisation, and evacuation priorities rather than wound packing.

The strap-on design allows rapid application to role players, supporting immersive scenario-based training without extended setup time. Manufactured from durable, life-like silicone, the Combat TraumaWear – Open Humerus Fracture delivers realistic visual and tactile feedback while remaining washable and reusable for repeated use.
