Why carry an Emergency Trauma (Israeli) Bandage?

 

Severe wounds do happen and you might only have seconds to help before it’s too late. Using a trauma wound dressing means you can stem the flow of blood from a wound and protect it from dirt and debris until professional help arrives..

Emergency trauma dressings are thicker and more robust than regular dressings to help absorb heavy bleeding and provide a decent cushioning pad to apply even and consistent pressure over a large area. 

 

Features

  • Quick, easy and effective application; and self application, even one-handed
  • Integral pressure applicator exerts immediate direct pressure to the wound
  • Secondary sterile dressing maintains pad and pressure firmly in place and lowers risk of further infection
  • Built in closure bar; no pins, clips, tape, velcro or knots
  • Non adherent pad eliminates pain and wound reopening upon removal
  • Can quickly stop bleeding from injuries caused by traffic accidents, work accidents, home injuries, gunshot, knife and other assault wounds

A trauma dressing needs to be applied quickly and retain compression.
That’s why it’s important to learn how to apply one before an emergency occurs.

We recommend them for anyone exposed to the risk of severe injury.
If your work means staff and members of the public are exposed to potential hazards like machinery and sharp objects, it may be a requirement to carry additional items to handle severe blood loss.
