Israeli Bandage/Tourniquet
The "Israeli Bandage", also
called the
"trauma bandage", or the
"Israeli Pressure Dressing"
replaces the standard dressing issued for decades to troops in the first aid
pouch. It is now a common item in the US Army IFAK
(military individual first aid kit). Its main purpose is to serve as a
pressure dressing, but can also be used to provide a tourniquet-like effect
to slow blood circulation.
The Israeli Bandage is kept inside its
vacuum-packed package to keep it clean and sterile for long term storage.
It has a built in tension bar that applies continuous pressure to the wound,
allowing the bandage to act as a
stand-alone field dressing, sling, pressure dressing
and mild tourniquet. It
can used for the treatment of
gunshot and puncture wounds, deep cuts, and other traumatic hemorrhagic
injuries. It is ideal for head wounds, because it can be
wrapped very easily andcan be
used one-handedFor self-treatment in case of an
emergency situation where you may be on your own.
