The LifeWrap
Simple .. reusable .. and it saves lives.

 

The LifeWrap is a remarkable first-aid device that can be used by health care providers to save the lives of women suffering from obstetrical hemorrhage at less than $5 per person. We are thrilled that this year, more and more people and organizations are realizing the value of this garment.
