Why Initial Triage Efficiency Matters
Initial triage is one of the most critical phases of any mass casualty incident. It not only establishes patient priority - it also provides the first real-time insight into patient counts, which directly impacts resource ordering and command decisions.
The 6-Bay Triage Ribbon Dispenser supports both speed and accountability by keeping ribbons organized, visible, and ready to deploy. When used with patient count cards, responders can track patient categories in real time as ribbons are applied - helping provide a clearer operational picture early in the incident.
