Product Information

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.

Another cool feature is that the edges of the bandage have hook-and-loop attachments at intervals as you unroll the bandage. This keeps the entire dressing from coming unrolled and bouncing around in the dirt.

Secondary Sterile Dressing. Keeping the wound area clean and maintaining the pad and pressure on the wound firmly in place, including immobilising the injured limb or body part.That said, he thinks both the IBD and the OLAES are awesome. The only negative with the OLAES is its size. Notice the OLAES has a plastic cup on it.

In addition to its primary function, the pressure bar also facilitates bandaging. The elastic bandage uses the rigid shape of the pressure bar to change direction while bandaging, thus affording the caregiver more options for effective dressing of the wound. After World War II, the US military reduced use of the tourniquet because the time between application and reaching medical attention was so long that the damage from stopped circulation was worse than that from blood loss.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.

(Thanks for keeping your tools sharp dad ;) The “H” is not face down into the wound — it faces you, sitting on top of the wound. “Today’s bandage, kids, is brought to you by the letter ‘H’!” Tie the support bandage, but do not tie it so tight that it stops blood flow around the wound. You should be able to slip a pinky into the bandage. Pressure applicator: The pressure applicator is a U-shaped bar attached to the outside of the elastic band. You can weave the elastic through the pressure bar, applying firm, direct pressure.

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. He set his mind to the problem at hand, and the Israeli battle dressing was the result.

It allows the bandage to clip neatly in place without slipping [3] and can be used by a "sliding motion with one hand." [2] pressure points. A little more complicated here but basically find a pulse point which is closer to your heart than the wound. For example: A wound to your hand could be controlled by applying pressure on the artery feeding the wound. The brachial artery on the inside of your elbow, for example. You can find the pulse there now if you feel for it. It is at the antecubital fossa, you know, where they take blood.

Q & A

Consolidation of functions makes treatment more efficient, both medically and economically. Compared to current treatments the Emergency Bandage proves to be an improved life-sustaining device at a competitive price. Apart from the usual assortment of plasters and antiseptic wipes for the smaller personal accidents, it is also wise to carry a couple of bandages of some kind. But which one? The Emergency Bandage provides injury victims acting alone the ability to accomplish the entire bandaging operation independently, including, in certain cases, tourniquet application, even if using only one hand. The dressing itself unfolds conveniently with the pad on one side and the pressure bar on the other. If additional pressure is required the closure bar is easily removed from its first closure position and inserted between previous layers of the leader directly above the protruding pressure bar and rotated. This rotation of the closure bar acts to further press down the pressure bar onto the wound to exert blood-staunching pressure. The closure bar is used as before to secure the dressing.

Consolidation of functions makes treatment more efficient, both medically and economically. Compared to current treatments, the Emergency Bandage is an improved life-sustaining device at a competitive price. Non-adherent pad. Eliminating the risk of causing pain and having the wound re-opened upon removal of the bandage. 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. Remember the mnemonic for treating a sprain? R.I.C.E - Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation. (Yes, there are many other mnemonics!)In the era preceding Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF), US military medics would take wounded soldiers from battlefields to hospitals for treatment. This often resulted in prolonged and irreversible loss of blood. Today, the tactic of caring for wounded soldiers has changed and the wounds are treated in the battlefield. The Israeli Bandage, which can be applied with only one hand, successfully stops bleeding and has been used by the armies of the United States, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, and other countries.
