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:

Closure Bar. Enabling closure and fixation of the Emergency Bandage at any point, on all parts of the body: no pins and clips, no tape, no velcro, no knots. Loop the securing rod under the band and hook the elastic within the rod. Now, similar to a SOF tourniquet, you have a windlass, giving you a mechanical advantage.

The Israeli bandage can directly serve as compression for a sprained ankle, shoulder, or wrist. When you wrap the elastic band around the injured joint, the compression reduces swelling and provides support. Using the Israeli bandage is smooth and simple. However, you must get your hands on one and practice (don't just rely on videos and articles like this one!). Here are the steps to applying the Israeli bandage to stop a wound:

Holding pressure manually requires you to use your hands to physically push down upon a wound. This is also known as direct pressure. While it can be effective, it obviously ties up your hands, leaving you little opportunity to perform other tasks that may need to be done such as calling 911. The emergency bandage is an elasticized bandage with a non-adhesive bandage pad sewn in. The bandage has a built-in pressure bar, which allows the user to twist the bandage around the wound once, and then change the direction of the bandage, wrapping it around the limb or body part, to create pressure on the wound. The sterile non-adhering dressing that is designed to allow removing the bandage without reopening a wound. Finally, you can wrap a large Israeli bandage around an abdominal evisceration, protecting the abdominal cavity.Excellent information , I have several of these and this was an easy video to follow, thank’s again. I also have these in storage. I did read how to use it and it was a bit confusing. The video is much better. The Israeli bandage is a versatile, effective first aid tool. MacGyver would be proud. Whether stopping a bleed, applying a make-shift tourniquet, or splinting an extremity, the Israeli bandage has you covered.

I bought this item for my med kit to take along on shooting days in the desert in the highly unlikely event that we have an injury. An Israeli Battle Dressing can make an invaluable addition to a bug-out bag, IFAK, trauma bag, first aid kit, hunting vest, or any number of other locations.

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.

Some dressings come with additives called hemostatic agents. These additives stimulate clotting through various formulations (depending on the agent). These substances got a bad reputation early on because they would have a very strong exothermic reaction (they got very hot). Eventually, the formulas were improved and the agents now are able to encourage clotting without generating heat. If a bad guy started pumping out rounds, there’s a high likelihood he will end up hitting people. After the threat is eliminated, you now need the means to keep people alive until professional help arrives.
