A modular trauma management system is provided which includes a number of multi-purpose elasticised pressure and/or support bandages combined with a modular framing support system based on a series of rods or tubes and connectors. The bandages are connectable lengthwise to like bandages to form longer bandage lengths and the modular framing system can be used to create numerous forms of splints, supports structures, crutches, walking sticks and the like. The system may include additional multi use elements that can further interact with the bandage and framing system elements such as multi-function tourniquet straps, modular stretcher elements, a traction strapping system and a versatile sling system that includes a separate multi use strap element. These components interact with the other elements in the system to enable a lightweight, highly versatile, environmentally tolerant system that can be used almost anywhere to manage an extremely wide range of trauma situations.
