An Israeli bandage is used for the treatment of major traumatic bleeding by applying pressure to the wound. They come vacuum sealed and are a sterile, single use bandage. Their all-in-one design eliminates the need for 4x4 dressings, gauze and sticks for tightening the bandage on the wound.
The unique features of the Israeli bandage include:
-
Sterile non-adhering dressing allows removal without reopening wound.
-
Pressure applicator (a pressure bar) to help stop the bleeding.
-
Closure bar to secure the bandage after it’s wrapped and to apply additional pressure.

While the Israeli Bandage is very effective at stopping/minimizing traumatic wound bleeding, a hemostatic clotting sponge in conjunction with the Israeli bandage is a great lifesaving combination.
