Israeli Compression Bandage – 6" Tactical Emergency Trauma Dressing for Bleeding Control, First Aid & EMS Use – Black

I bought this bandage in 2016 while working in my former capacity in law enforcement to keep in my cars medical kit. It’s now 2024 and I thank god I bought it all those years ago. My dog fell down a set of stairs and ended up with a deep puncture wound in her jaw and neck. I was able to use this successfully for bleed control and to stabilize the packing material I stuffed into the wound. The packaging kept it fresh and dry after all these years and the fabric was unaffected by the 8 years of sitting idle. This bandage saved my dog, and I plan to buy a replacement.

Actually had to use this on a recent camping trip due to a 3 inch deep puncture on patients thigh. It did a very good job of controlling bleeding and a nice wide surface area on the bandage to distribute the pressure and not constrict any tissue. Emergency room technicians were very impressed with the performance of the bandage and that we had the wherewithal to properly implement in such a remote location. The doctor who treated the wound attributed the bandage and its proper use to the expected positive outcome of the injury. This was confirmed weeks later when stitches were removed and again the attending physician attributed the successful healing and minimal scarring to the same. These bandages are not cheap but this is one area you do not want to skimp on when a situation arises where this type of bandage is needed. Very highly recommend this product. We now keep several of these in various places just in case. Better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.

Being an EMT in a major city I’ve learned how valuable these are and wanted to make sure I have some in my first aid kits. I bought a few for home and my truck(mobile) first aid kit. These might seem like they are “advanced” but this bandage is a great tool that can literally save a life. You can easily understand how to use them! They add a great amount more pressure than a regular bandage. They come in a well sealed sterile package and seems to be vacuumed, making it fit well into my kits. This is one of those things you will be thankful you have close by if or when an event arises.

This is the last component that I've included in the family medic bag that we will start carrying with us on outings and especially camping trips. Designed for the battlefield, these are great bandages that can be quickly applied to a serious wound to apply pressure and help stop bleeding until further medical assistance can be reached. The bandage was designed so you don't need any safety pins, metal clasps, or even medical tape to secure it in place. Everything you need to keep the bandage on the wound and apply pressure is incorporated right into the bandage itself. Upon receiving it, my wife and I found some very helpful instructional videos online that help you understand how to apply the bandage correctly. Instructions are also printed on the packaging, but I recommend searching out the videos online because they really give you a clear picture on how to use these correctly. This is a great item to have in your kit and I highly recommend.

Its an Israeli Bandage, with a pressure bar.... yep, that's it. If you know what it is, then you know what it is. If you need one, you'll be glad to have one. I ordered an extra, for demo purposes. I ripped it open and found... exactly what i expected, an Israeli Bandage! Seriously though order an extra before any trip and go over its use with your travel mates. Everyone on the trip should at least have a passing familiarity with everything in the med kit.

the only time I've actually had use with this product was in the military. I am now a retired veteran and have bought 2 of these without the need to use yet and hopefully ever. Which mean as far as the product inside this current pack is unknown until use in order to keep it at a sterile state. The packaging is excellent, it is vacuum tight and has an easy rip open 1-6 instruction steps for those not familiar. These wraps are crucial for certain wounds that can occur. If you are a gun enthusiast you should have one (w/ quick clot) if you hunt, and for ease of mind. If your family or friend is seriously bleeding out and no ambulance has ever been known to get to your location in less than 2 minutes you'd be doing better calling a priest. But with this compression wrap and some quick clot gauze you will increase your odds tremendously. Well that my soap box and I'm sure you can agree if you or your families life was on the line I'm sure you could mustard up $$$ to get some of the simple gear.

This is an amazing addition to a kit. I've added two of these pressure bandages to a basic trauma/odk along with Celox, Swat-t tourniquet, trauma shears/rescue hook, medical gloves, gauze, tape, etc. It is cheap enough that you can get one to open and practice with--don't worry about the wrinkly picture instructions on the package, it is vac-sealed so when you open it, you can easily flatten it out then for easy looking at. Also, don't freak out if you buy from Shy in Israel here and Amazon tells you its going to take forty or more days to get to the US. It takes about two weeks, he's awesome. Also, it has a massively long expiration date--no, it doesn't need one but you know government red tape, so as long as it remains vac-sealed, it will be fine. No, it doesn't have Celox or other clotting solution in it--that would give it an expiration date of about three years only--so if you want a clotting agent, get one to go with it. I recommend Celox because it doesn't have the negative effects of Quik Clot. These bandages are light, fit into kits easily, are waterproof, last hugely long, and give you the chance to save a life. And they are cheap. Awesome. Put these in your car kit, your main house kit, with your BOB, your commuter/workplace kit, and in your outdoor fun stuff (hunting, backpacking, you name it). Heck, put it in your animal/animals' kits. Be really responsible and do up a trauma kit to go with it. With long emergency response times, city budget cuts, personnel shortages, and the increase of violent people out there, being ready to take care of yourself or someone else could mean everything. So, in a nutshell, this is an essential part of your kits.

I haven't had to use one yet (thankfully), but I've had to train with similar products at my work. As far as I can tell this one is on par with the good quality ones I've seen before. It comes in a vacuum sealed package with a manufacture date (which was only a few months before I ordered) and an expiration date (5 years after manufacture). So these are not expired or nearly expired products, but will actually be good for several years. The Israeli military came out with these, but the US military uses these same type of compression bandages in many of their first aid kits too because they are effective and pretty simple to use. If you don't live near a hospital or will be a great distance away from medical care (e.g. camping, hiking) I would highly suggest having one of these (along with one of the Quickclot products) with you just in case the worst happens and you need to stop severe bleeding long enough for medial personnel to get to you (or you to them).

Nunca llegó, aunque me reembolsaron.

le bandage vient d'être produit donc validité maximale. merci

You buy these hoping that you'll never need to use it. When I was first on the scene of a road accident and needed to treat a casualty with a severe head wound, I was fortunate to have this with me. The pack was easy to tear open, the bandage was easy to extract and unwrap while keeping the dressing sterile. It was easy to apply, the dressing was large enough to cover the wound and staunch the blood flow. The elastic scarf kept the dressing in place and provided suitable pressure. The fact that the vacuum shrunk pack is small and light makes it more likely that you will have slipped it into your pocked or backpack 'just in case'. I was glad that I had mine with me. Now I need to buy another one.

These have PerSysMedical (r) symbol, and labelled with manufacturer: First Care Products, Israel. AFAICT are legit, and not a cheap knock-off. Shipped from Israel. I found buying them individually cheaper than the triple pack. I bought 3x1 and the triple pack. All six (6) of them were from the same lot, manufactured date 2020-03, expiry 2028-3, so still have 7 years left. All of them with good vacuum seals. All identical packaging. They have big flat end where you open them, that has a 3 tear here notches, on on the top, one on the left and right hand sides, so that it should be really quick and easy to open when needed. Hopefully, I'll never need to use these. They weigh 86-88g each. There dimensions are a little irregular, roughly 155x70x30mm, some parts a little wide or narrower by 5mm, based on the way they compressed as they got vacuumed.

These bandages I am sure work well and although it took s while to finally arrive it’s in the first aid kit to be used in an emergency as needed.
