Just wanted to say thanks. After watching this video several months ago I bought one to put in my blow out kit. A few days ago I severely injured my knee in a chainsaw accident. I was able to stop the bleeding fast with this bandage and drive myself to an ER. Thanks again for a great video!
This product just saved my life. Had a torrential post surgery bleed once I was at home. Isreali bandage stopped the heavy venous bleed with ease as I was starting to feel light headed.
@@freedomridermorty4459, carry your stuff in gallon bags. Save the money on the vent bandages. For a sucking chest wound, you can use tape and the gallon bag. Save money and get multiple uses out of valuable space in your pack.
I would recommend that, after placing the absorbent pad over the wound, the first wrap should be above the wound, overlapping to the side of the cleat -- the second wrap should be below the wound, overlapping on the other side of the cleat -- and the third wrap should be through the cleat. This process will "seal" the wound area to prevent the incursion of infectious agents. Thereafter, the counter-pull on the cleat, the remaining wraps around the limb, and the securing of the loose end can proceed as usual.
I always knew the Israelis did their history lesson well, here, the bandage they came up with... pure simplicity and utility. Anything you need in an emergency situation when you are shocked or under great stress. I bow to you whoever patented this.
Been a EMT for 17 years and I struggle with all kinds of dressing and watching this video puts me in awe! That’s give me why couldn’t I have I thought of that! Definitely will be getting some for my jump kit
How many of us have these, and NEVER needed/ used 1 ? Ok, me at least. So I like to drop in to review how to correctly use, as I foget things over time if I don't use the info. This was probably the shortest, yet best one I've viewed...thanks for posting it !
Thank you so much for this! I'm a truck driver that delivers primarily to Farmers in rural areas and recently took a CPR & first aid course just in case I ever come upon injuries. When I got my IFAK I found this Israeli bandage in there and had no idea what the heck it was or how to use it. Didn't want to open it and contaminate it. This is a great, straightforward, concise video. Greatly appreciated.
We had these issued in Iraq. The Israeli's make great gear for military use. They also created the Chitosan bandage which is impregnated with a blood clotting agent; excellent for use on arterial wounds.
Such a clear and concise demo. I thought it would be difficult to apply but you explained it in terms that anyone can understand. I will offer a couple for my first aid kit today! Thank you!
I appreciated the video. I bought some of these for a trauma/first aid kit I put together to keep in the trunk. I think this is the first video I have seen that went through the entire process, starting with opening the package. I feel more prepared now should I ever need to use one.
From the UK, ('RM') & in the process or creating an interest lecture for a course. My subject from no choice of my own was the FFD (1st Field Dressing)....Good effort on this video. Perfect demo! Very helpful & very well explained, cheers. Please keep em' coming whatever the subject.
I was given eight or ten of these about ten years ago. Have one in every bag and kit. Never had to use one, but at least now I know how to do it. Thanks
@A B Israel*, and not everything is Paid by US money. The company that was creating those, also was sold about 20 years ago to an American company, so it paid it self over and over again and saved many lives. You're welcome.
That way, you also don't allow oxygen for the aera to breathe. Maybe you are right though, because I speak simply from experience with smaller wounds and other similar bandages, that didn't allow the wound to close, because it didn't breath. Again, I may be wrong
Invaluable for any first aid kit. Seeing such an improvement from what was used years ago, I realize that I'm way behind the times, especially in first aid training (basic), the last class I took was over 30 years ago. Time to update my three kits and training so I can again live up to "Be prepared".
Just got the news ones. The first video I watched (yours) makes perfect sense. No long-winded instructions, but the Why-For's explained. Thank you. Subbed.
Very good info. Thanks much for posting. As a former paramedic and RN this is very useful info. Most grateful for your efforts to help us learn about this new dressing. Respectfully,
Thanks for posting this. I read up on best wound bandages, and this one got top compliments. I bought a few for my personal med kit but had no idea how to use it. Now I do!
I got in a nasty car accident one time and had a deep cut on my thigh. Thank goodness I had my IFAK on my belt. I put a double Quik Clot trauma dressing right on it, then put the Israeli over the top of it to really pack it tight. Worked like a charm!!!
I never knew how these worked so never bought any... but now that I do (thx 2 U) I'll have to buy some! I appreciate you taking the time to show us how these are used. I sub'd!
What the ETB/ETD/Isreali is good for is wrapping wounds you already packed and you wrap that thing as tight as you possibly can. I as a medic wrap from down to up or distal to proximal to reduce the chances of compartment syndrome and I wrap over the sides to ensure no dirt can come in and that the packing stays in.
I have one of these in my IFAK, and this demo video made knowing how to use it simple and intuitive, much moreso than the directions on the packaging. Hopefully I won't ever have to use it real-world, but it's good that I know how should the need arise.
Great video, I have several for an emergency but have never seen one applied. Will save valuable time by knowing how it works without figuring it out during a crisis.
Israeli Bandages are really useful pieces of equipment, they can pull multiple duties and are passable is several areas. Well worth owning, and more so, training with! Well done.
For those that are potentially confused about Desert MARPAT MCCUU, it stands for Desert Marine Pattern (MARPAT) Marine Corps Combat Utility Uniform (MCCUU).
I have the civvie version of this dressing (white package, white bandage), and your video is a great resource to view every six months or so to keep the drill for applying it fresh -- in case, which God forbid, I should have to use one. Thank you.
Great video... Just need to remember to tuck the wrapper under the last outer wrap so who ever is taking it off knows what they are working with.... Thanks..
Just been given a couple of these bandages but didn't know the correct way to use one. I do now, thanks for taking the time to make this informative vid. Cheers.
Thanks! I just ordered some of these (I take it this is the 4" version with the single gauze pad?) as well as the 6" version and was looking for a good instructional video. This was concise yet detailed enough to demonstrate the entire process, perfect demonstration.
Thank you. I'm a truck driver and I come upon many accidents (or cause them according to eye witnesses). I am building up a medical kit, and I saw these, but not sure how to use them. So I now know, and will be adding these.
If a bandage's outer wrapper is opened and kept, it'll become contaminated with whatever is around it. If it is going to be used to occlude a chest wound to cause it not to leak air into the chest cavity, keep one bandage in its' original wrapper until the outer wrap is needed to occlude such a chest wound. Tim
Thanks for the demo. I noticed that some instructors recommend wrapping an overlap above and below the first round in order to keep dirt/debris from getting under the edge of the bandage.
Patrick Boyle Correct, the whole bandage needs to be covered by the wraps. Once proximal and once distal to the injury may do it, then thru the pressure bar and pull back the other way. The turns above and below also prevent the IB from shifting. I like the IB because it has a long tail. Some people have enormously fat upper legs and use up a lot of bandage..you don't want to run out of wrap.For added pressure twist as you go thru the pressure bar.There are a number of ways, all correct.
I got all the essential gear and put it in a small drug store kit bag. You can sure fit a lot more stuff in when you pack it properly. Instead of a backpack I can fit it all in a small case. Tournaquiet attached to outside. I understand that you may have the worry about everything falling out of there if it is an emergency but thats pretty unrealistic unless you are on the move or on a battlefield. For camping or home/car use I think being able to get more essentials into something I would actually bring with me is beneficial.
@Marty32, Thanks. That makes a lot of sense. Exit wounds will be larger and messier than entry wounds. I imagine that most GSWs treated by EMTs these days are from pistols, and with "self defense" ammo, you wouldn't always get an exit wound. I think a hit from a rifle using FMJ ammo would be far more likely (but perhaps not always) to produce an exit wound. Anyway, I guess I was thinking of them as "military" style bandages. Thanks for the tip.
@jokertim777 They have Entry/Exit designed bandages. One way you could do it is packing the entry and wrapping the exit. I have a few of the 4-inch Israeli bandages that I keep in my medic bag and my everyday carry bag. As for handling GSWs; look for exits (not always there or straight-through), cover and wrap. Packing and such needs a little more training.
I watched another video on youtube by the manufacturer of the Israeli Dressing and it says to ensure that the pressure clip is to the side of the wound, NOT on top of.
Don't forget your bleed stop. Some bandages come with bleedstop and pain relief built-in. The Israeli bandages are made for direct pressure o the wound. You may still need a tourniquet above the wound to stop blood flow
Feb. 7, 2019---Thank you for a clear and concise video. I have a lot of gauze pads, etc., but not one of these. Seen 'em on Ebay, but no idea how big they were or how to use 'em. Now I do.
Carry one in our Hockey puck bag--never know when a skate cut is going to go hard and deep...found a Czech army ammo bag with pockets---big opening holds the pucks (about 30) side pocket has an Israeli Bandage, other pockets; gloves, scissors, gauze, tape, breathing mask...thanks for the reminder demo.

Some videos recommend wrapping the excess elastic half width above and below center. To protect from dirt getting under the bandage.
