Israeli Bandage

This is another piece of emergency gear that I originally purchased while over-preparing for an RV adventure trip. Thankfully, I never had to use it. At the time, I wasn't sure what access we'd have to emergency medical care in more remote areas, so I decided to build out a more capable first aid kit than I would normally carry. A compression bandage seemed like one of those items that would be invaluable in a serious emergency and completely unnecessary in normal life—which is exactly the kind of thing you want to have before you need it. What I like: * compact, vacuum-sealed packaging * easy to store in a first aid kit * appears well made * useful addition to trauma supplies * provides peace of mind Since returning home safely, these haven't gone unused—they've just been reassigned. One now lives in the first aid kit near my table saw, and another stays with the supplies I keep around my outdoor power equipment. Those are two places where the chances of a serious injury are probably higher than anywhere else around my property, and having appropriate trauma supplies nearby makes a lot of sense. Fortunately, I can't comment on real-world performance because I've never had to open one. That's actually the outcome I'm hoping for. My goal is for these bandages to remain vacuum sealed and untouched for many years. What I can say is that they arrived properly packaged, store easily, and fill an important role in a serious first aid kit. Like a fire extinguisher, it's not something you buy because you expect to use it. You buy it because if the day ever comes when you do need it, you'll be very glad it's there. Hopefully these spend their entire service life sitting quietly in a first aid kit. In the meantime, they provide an extra measure of preparedness and peace of mind around some of the more dangerous tools I use.

The neat thing here is that when you get 6, you can open one up and practice with it or demonstrate how to use it. so that during an emergency, you're not trying to read fine-print directions. I don't believe there's anything magical or special about items like this. They're meant to put pressure on a wound. You are responsible for using it correctly (and hopefully having appropriate supporting material like gauze, antiseptic, etc.) These units are easy to use, offer appropriate (and adjustable) amounts of tension, and are long enough to use even on large areas.

These are very strong and do what they need to do. I opened one to try out and was impressed with its quality. Highly recommend for your emergency kit.

I will carry these in my vehicles. They are similar to an Army field dressing. Stop the bleeding and secure the wound is paramount in an emergency. Having some of these available can be lifesaving.

This is good value, but I wish that the clip was not super cheap plastic, and I would prefer to have the elastic with more elasticity. In a pinch this is still an effective product, as the clip is not a necessity when compression is the goal. Pull it tight and secure it another way if needed.

"Excellent product! Works exactly as described, high quality, and exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend!"

Great addition to a vehicle ifak. Thank you.

Comes vacuum sealed very good. I hope I don’t ever need them.

No los he abierto para evitar que se contaminen, pero su embalaje y empaquetado es calidad premium, claramente se nota que son de excelente calidad, son grado militar.
