Israeli Army Bandage - 4-Inch

<p>Extremely high quality.</p>

<p>A must have item for any ifak or trauma kit. Don’t settle for imitations. Hopefully I’ll never have to use this for its intended purpose, but I would much rather have and not need, than need and not have. Don’t forget the other necessities too, Hyfin vent chest seals, CAT TQ, quick clot combat gauze, trauma sheers etc</p>

<p>Don,t settle for the cheap knockoffs. How much is a life worth? This type of bandage is too bulky to fit in the Blue Force Gear Micro Trauma Kit. The 4” will have its limitations, compared to the 6” bandage. It will however, fit in the Blue Force Gear Medium Kit. The difference between the two kits, is their size. The Micro Kit is concealable (under a jacket or coat), while the Medium Kit is not. The 6” bandage is meant more for a larger trauma kit.</p>

<p>For quick use in your IFAK. Top grade, easy/extended storage use.</p>

<p>Great product</p>

<p>Came well-sealed; good size for carrying, not too bulky.</p>

<p>Always good to have one nearby</p>

<p>These are quality made bandages. I just hope that I never have to use them.</p>

<p>I kind of think that this type of item is really important - so I tried to break it.<br /><br />Of course one should use extra dressing if the wound calls for it. On to the materials; the elastic bandage is almost to weak or fragile. With extra dressing in place I applied ample force on it the cleat, it held but I thought the elastic bandage was going to rip but it didn't. I moved onto actually trying to pull the cleat of of the bandage and it did not take much effort to start to pull the cleat off. From there I went to absorbency of the pad that is part of the bandage - not the extra dressing I mentioned.<br />The native dressing absorbed water quickly but it did not hold up to my attempt to pull the pad apart.<br /><br />All in all IMO I think this bandage would work; I don't think this would hold up under extreme conditions, hey but if your using this bandage your probably in an extreme situation right? So what I mean is, if your are using this in a situation or area that is clam, and the person is stabilized and ready for transport then I think this would work.<br />But if you in an active situation and the person the bandage is applied to needs to move under their own power or assistance I don't think this would hold up long.</p>

<p>You probably need a couple dozen of these things on-hand for when SHTF. It's a one package bandage ... doesn't require other kit to keep it on the wound right where it's needed. It's vacuum sealed to last and stay as small as possible. Probably make for a great Christmas Stocking Stuffer.</p>

<p>i haven't try yet but satisfied</p>

<p>Package came ripped, unusable.</p>

<p>Good to go for non compact medical kits. A little to bulky for a compact IFAK.</p>

<p>Although I haven’t used these, that I just ordered (because they should be left sealed until needed), I have used this brand and both sizes as a combat medic. The Israeli bandage has always been one of my favorite pressure bandages. Other medics may like them as well, or they’ll have other options they prefer...And there’s ABSOLUTELY nothing wrong with a different preference! I won’t criticize ANY medic, or other medical professionals, who prefer other options. Regardless, these are good quality and work great for their intended purposes!</p>

<p>I needed to fold the large flap over for this to fit in my first aid kit and while folding the flap the notch in the packaging ripped open so the bandage is no longer sealed. I do not recommend this bandage for small (ankle) first aid kits</p>

<p>bought these for part of a home made first aid kit, was shown how to use by my work, very useful!</p>

<p>Great item to any first aid kit</p>

<p>These came quickly, at a reasonable price. They are well sealed in sturdy packaging. I anticipate they will perform as expected based on my research.</p>

<p>While I prefer 6" models, I am making a small trauma FAK that cannot accommodate "full size". This is ideal.</p>

<p>In the Army, we learned to "apply a field dressing, pressure dressing, and tourniquet". This takes care of the first two. We were issued these during the last few years of my career. They're easy to use and, I keep one in my Jeep, on my hiking pack, and on my battle belt. I hope I never need it but, I know it's there if I do.</p>

<p>Smart to keep these in a trauma kit</p>

<p>Havent had to use it yet...for deep wounds, not the stomach, but in other parts of the body...nest bandage ever made!</p>

<p>Needed supplies for our first aid kit! Looks great, came exactly as described! Hope it will never get used, but it’s a nice peace of mind to have on hand.</p>

<p>GReat Product</p>

<p>Comes as promised and well packaged.</p>

<p>I have three IFAKs, one in the truck, one in the go-bag, and one in the house. This is a must-have item. Build your own kits people! The kits they sell at Walmart/Target are crap and aren't good for much other than a small cut or scraped knee!</p>

<p>The Israeli Combat Dressing is a useful pressure dressing for wounds with heavy bleeding. It should be a part of every "Stop the Bleed" kit.</p>

<p>Easy to use. Detailed instructions included.</p>

<p>As described. Fast delivery</p>

<p>Smaller then I thought. Size perfect to my first aid bag attached to my vest. For me, its perfect.</p>
