Israeli Bandage 4" Emergency Trauma Bandage

The Israeli Bandage (Emergency Bandage) is a combat-proven haemorrhage control dressing, originally designed for military use and now standard issue with major military organisations worldwide. It combines a pressure applicator, non-adherent pad, elastic secondary dressing and built-in closure bar into a single unit, so you can manage serious bleeding with one device.

When to use an Israeli Bandage: traumatic wounds in pre-hospital settings, including traffic accidents, workplace injuries, home injuries, gunshot wounds, stab wounds and other assault injuries where direct pressure is needed to control haemorrhage.

• 4-inch (10cm) dressing width
• Combat-proven direct pressure bandage
• Trauma bandage and secondary dressing in one
• Quick, one-hand self-application
• Built-in closure bar, no pins, clips, tape, velcro or knots
• Sterile, individually packaged

How it differs from a regular bandage: a standard roller bandage holds a dressing in place, whereas the Israeli Bandage integrates a sterile pad, applies focused direct pressure through its pressure bar, and secures with a closure clip, consolidating multiple items into one fast-to-apply unit.

Israeli Bandage vs tourniquet: a tourniquet stops arterial flow to a limb and is used for life-threatening limb haemorrhage. The Israeli Bandage applies firm direct pressure to a wound and can be used on the torso, neck, head and limbs where a tourniquet cannot be applied.

A practical addition to first aid kits, trauma kits, vehicle kits and remote-work medical supplies across Australia.
