Israeli Bandage Battle Dressing First Aid Compression Bandage, 6 Inch

Product Information

When the bandage's inventor, Bernard Bar-Natan, was in training to become an Israeli military medic in 1984, he noticed that the bandages issued for bleeding control had a manufacture date of 1942 or sometimes even 1938. He also noticed that more current styles had the same design and the same features as 1942 bandages. [1] [6] The trainees were advised to grab a stone and to use it to apply pressure to a wound that would not clot on its own. Bar-Natan started work on a new generation of bandages that would not rely on the "grab a stone" approach, but would have a pressure bar built into the bandages themselves. [1]

The material mirrors the elastic material of the Israeli bandage, again showing the family link, however, the overall length of the T3 bandage is c10cm longer than the Israeli, coming in at just under 1.7 meters. Use the Israeli bandage for bleeding wounds that need pressure but don't require a tourniquet. If a wound is spurting blood, then you should apply pressure and go directly for the tourniquet. Let’s take a look at how to apply an Israeli Battle Dressing in different scenarios. The Israeli Bandage is used by U.S. and other military forces worldwide.

Though the Israeli bandage is great as a bleeding control tool, its ability to perform multiple jobs is what makes this bandage so useful. Five things to know about the Israeli bandage:A useful feature is the option to unfold the pad making the pad 180 x 180mm, enabling the bandage to cover a much larger wound area than the Israeli bandage, or you could use the additional pad as a separate wound dressing as there is a perforated edge to the fold-out so it can be easily separated. The perforated joint Secondary Sterile Dressing. Keeping the wound area clean and maintaining the pad and pressure on the wound firmly in place, including immobilization of the injured limb or body part. Available in both 100 and 150mm (4 and 6 inches) widths it’s undoubtedly a good dressing and worthy of a place in your first aid kit, but what other options are there? Top – Israeli 4&6″ bandages. Bottom – T3 Enter the T3 The Israeli Emergency Bandage consolidates numerous treatment equipment into a single unit and provide in one device: Closure Bar.

Uncontrolled/uncontrollable bleeding is the most preventable cause of deaths on both the battlefield and the streets. Studies show up to 50% of combat fatalities and 39% of civilian trauma fatalities are due to uncontrolled bleeding from an extremity. It is possible to die from femoral arterial bleeding in as little as three minutes. Pressure dressing is one approach to controlling bleeding. It's not always the first choice, though. Other options include applying a tourniquet or manual pressure. It doesn’t do you much good to have an IBD yet not know how to use it! I highly recommend purchasing one you can open and train with so that you know what to do without hesitation when it matters most.

A pressure applicator placed over the wound to stop bleeding by applying pressure. [2] It allows changing the direction of the bandage and wrapping it around the wound once in various directions. It also makes bandaging easier. It is especially useful for stopping bleeding in groin and head injuries. [3]

Subsequent wrappings of the leader secure and maintains the pad in place over the wound and by covering all the edges of the pad, acts as a sterile secondary dressing. The bandage leader is woven to remain at its full width and will not bunch up or twist itself into a rope. In 1990–1991, the idea and the design were developed enough to apply for Israeli Government support from the Office of the Chief Scientist in the Ministry of Industry. The application allowed Bar-Natan to become a part of a technology incubator program in Jerusalem's Har Hotzvim, with a government grant covering 3/4 of the expenses connected to the research and development of the bandage. [1] After three additional years of development the bandage was ready for commercialization. [1] However, Bar-Natan formed First Care Products Ltd and supervised the design and production of the bandage.Now, you can use the loop like the pressure applicator on the real Israeli bandage, weaving the triangular bandage through and pulling the knot over the wound. Designed specifically to immediately stop catastrophic bleeding, the Emergency Bandage® consolidates first aid, such as primary dressing, secondary dressing and tourniquets into an all in-one device. Next, wrap the bandage around the arm and insert it into the pressure applicator clip. That’s the pressure clip. Thread the bandage through that, utilizing the gap in the top of it to do so. There’s also a new version of the OLAES called the ChitoGauze Pro that has chitosan hemostatic dressing inside — an agent that helps with blood clotting. Remember the mnemonic for treating a sprain? R.I.C.E - Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation. (Yes, there are many other mnemonics!)

Subsequent wrappings of the leader secures and maintains the pad in place over the wound, and by covering all the edges of the pad acts as a sterile secondary dressing. The bandage leader is woven to remain at its full width and will not bunch up or twist itself into a rope. The dressing itself unfolds conveniently with the pad on one side and the pressure bar on the other.Haemostatics are not the first line treatment for serious bleeds. Always start with direct pressure before considering haemostatics. David Kleinman, a SWAT team medic who devised a first aid kit used to treat victims of the 2011 Tucson shooting, said that "deputies reached for the Emergency Bandage 'over and over at the scene'" of the shooting.
