Israeli Bandage Battle Dressing First Aid Compression Bandage, 6 Inch

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 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.

Essential piece of first aid kit if you are a hiker. Seeing some barbed wire while hiking yesterday reminded a wise precaution to have one of these. Military standard of product to so you know will work.

Excellent service. I did not need to use the bandage (thankfully) but it was delivered on time and in excellent condition. Thumbs up!

I bought this as a chainsaw operator. As such I hope I never have to use it. Therefore I cannot rate the product, but the service and delivery was excellent

I hope I never need this! But it's vacuum packed, has a long shelf life and performs better than "normal" field dressings. Why they aren't in all first aid kits, I don't know. Be warned, postage is unexpectedly high - it does come from Israel, not from a local distributor. This one is for the car first aid kit (which is a requirement for continental driving pretty much everywhere now)

Got to try these at a 1st aid demonstration, they seem to work better than anything else, though I have not had the need to try them myself in an emergency, so they live at the top of my 1st aid kit

Perfect to keep in my first aid kit for injuries that are too big to deal with on the spot.

Nunca llegó, aunque me reembolsaron.

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

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.

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.

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.
