Thanks for your videos and information. I've purchased 2 of these to add into my bags. I do amateur radio support for events. There are times when I am the only person at a check point. Watching your videos I've added clotting gauze, these pressure bandages, and education from you, to be better prepared.
Bought a few of these recently (some for real world use and extras to train with) Had my wife wrap it around my forearm and I could not believe how tight it was! She got that thing just as tight (if not tighter) than an Israeli bandage or an OLAES, which really shocked me. Can't believe how good the NAR ETD is, especially for the price!
Thanks skinny! I got the bigger size and smaller sizes. One size each for my (kids) older now and some for the house. I should've gotten more. Thanks for the work ya put into all your vids!
@@limboneutral6849 I have heard that some of the ones for sale on Amazon are sometimes fake so I'd recommend buying them directly from NAR. The cost depends on the size but they are from $4 to $9 depending on the size, etc. Well worth getting them direct in my opinion and they are relatively inexpensive.
For those who have a strong preference for their products to be made in the USA, the North American Rescue ETD is Berry Amendment compliant, unlike the First Care Products Israeli Bandage.
@@AWDfreak youre implying that since the NAR trauma dressing is made in America instead of Israel that its better. "I will curse those that curse you(Israel)." God is gonna bring a curse on you for saying anything bad about them man, especially insinuating that America is better, we are nothing compared to Gods Chosen.
As somone that has had to use a compression bandage on himself (axe mishap), I agree you should always carry at least one. I carry two as well as 2 tourniquets. As large man, I also find having the SWAT-T tourniquet handy as well, since a standard compression bandage does not create enough pressure around my hips or chest. I can use the SWAT-T on top of it to get more pressure on the wound. Just something for us large people to consider. Love your channel. Thanks.
thanks for the videos, because I'll never know when I might be a first responder , I recently started putting together some trauma kits and came across your Channel I found the information to be very good, one thing that I have in a couple of my kids is a pre-loaded skin stapler it comes in a sterile package and is very compact what do you think their use as it pertains to tactical medical kit
Hey Skinny Medic I was at a park shelter our church was having a cook out a young girl was running between 2 vehicles she fell and hit her face on a trailer hitch I got her up and she had a cut under her right eye about 2 inches long and I could see white bone the entire 2 inches it was in a awkward place to bandage so I gave her a big cotex to hold against it untill her dad could get her to the hospital but how do you bandage this place ?
Thanks SM, good video and demo. I have a question, I was taught that you shouldn't pack wounds in the thorax area of the body. Was my instruction wrong or did I misunderstand? Hopefully you can clarify this for me. Thanks for you videos man!
Have you ever used the real "Emergency Bandage" aka "israeli bandage" made by FirstCare? They also have a mechanism that prevents unrolling, but its a stitching, not the velcro strips. Maybe you used the cheaper "WoundStop" bandages. They are also made by FirstCare, but are their civilian/homecare products. I personally really like the Israeli for its versatility that comes with the pressure bar and don't really see an advantage for the NAR product here, except for the package measurements. The tourniquet use for these kinds of bandages are pretty tricky and fail from time to time, as the securing bar is made of relatively weak plastic. A real tourniquet should always be used if available.
Yes I have and I don't remember any of them having the velco stoppers. Not sure ... I do agree 100% that if you have major bleeding on the arm or leg then use a "real" tourniquet.
Exactly, there is no velcro on the israeli. They use a thread, that goes through all the bandage layers, so when you wrap the bandage, one layer after another gets loose from the thread. If you loose grip of the bandage it will fall right to the next layer held with the thread. A little complicated to explain, but works as good as the velcro.
I have a question ( again :D) : In an active shooter scenario (or something like this) what do you do if you have more injured people than gloves? Try to clean the hands or the gloves or even something else? And what to do if you haven't got wipes or something clean to clean them?
In an active shooter scenario you have bigger problems than possible cross infections of patients. Life before limb, infections can be treated (but not all healed). If you have enough gloves use them, if you don't, well, than better save some lives without.
In addition to what +Minuteman187 said, if the victim is conscious and able, assist and guide them in self-aid. Save your gloves for those who can't help themselves at all. The amount of supplies available is an important consideration in triage. Engaging victims who are able to self-aid adds to your available manpower, another important limited resource.
#SkinnyMedic It seems like the Israeli bandage, this NAR 4" and the OLAES all have positives & negatives. Do you have a preference or does it depend on the situation?
Good , this is what I want to see. You demonstrated the many uses for this bandage by actually showing how to apply it on a trauma victim. Excellent.
Been subscribing to "gun" channels forever, but failed to consider the medical component until I discovered skinny medic. Awesome content! Thank you!
Welcome to my channel!
Bro ive never thought to use the etd clip as a windlas. Thats cool
Thank you for the firefighter tip at the end of video Skinny Medic.

Awesome!
Thanks for the video. Now I understand more clearly how to use this bandage.
I'm liking the blooper reel at the end.
The new IBD has the same stops. But I like the size of this one.

Good review, Skinny, on a good product. Best
great vid thanx, and love the bloopers
Just bought 3 of them on Amazon. Thanks for sharing S.M. :)
How much did you pay for them??
@@limboneutral6849 I have heard that some of the ones for sale on Amazon are sometimes fake so I'd recommend buying them directly from NAR.

was just looking to buy a few of those. Thanks for the video
I think the israeli bandage has a string that stops it from unrolling
it only has the one so after that it unrolls
For those who have a strong preference for their products to be made in the USA, the North American Rescue ETD is Berry Amendment compliant, unlike the First Care Products Israeli Bandage.
You are correct, thank you for the comment!
Cool it with the antisemitism dude
@@whiteyfisk9769 At no point did I ever imply any antisemitism.
Don't put words in my mouth.

"I will curse those that curse you(Israel)." God is gonna bring a curse on you for saying anything bad about them man, especially insinuating that America is better, we are nothing compared to Gods Chosen.
Firefighter proof? Get your own stretcher, we're going back to the station.LOL.... Just kidding, great video.
God bless all medics.
Thank you for the video. I learned something important today.
Absolutelly great !!

Be nice to the firefighters, its not like they are cops or something, lol. I can say that, been a FF/ EMT for 30 years. Great video!
Very clever idea using the plastic clip as a TQ
Quick question where'd you get that green practice dummy of yours? I could use that to practice. It would be great.
Great information! Thanks for sharing.
love your Channel recently found out about it and I love it keep it up
Thank you!
Are your us sold israelis without the little pices of string that keep the bandage from unrolling?
Maybe ... not sure... the ones I have used don't have the velcro stoppers
The ones i got are hold together by a little bit of string through the layers that have just enough friction but that just works once
Yes, new batches of ITBs do have light stitching to prevent losing control of the tail.
I was going to say the same thing. My Israeli Bandages have a string through that prevents unrolling until pulled.
For whom the bell tolls...

kits .lol not kids
Does anybody know off the top of their head the unstretched/stretched length of this model?
lol firefighter proof. Great vid Skinny.

The head and face can be difficult to bandage. It honestly sounds like you did the right think by just holding it in place.
another great video
Thanks
Thanks SM, good video and demo. I have a question, I was taught that you shouldn't pack wounds in the thorax area of the body. Was my instruction wrong or did I misunderstand? Hopefully you can clarify this for me. Thanks for you videos man!
It was correct .. you do pack the shoulders and groins ... where you have muscle mass
Thanks for the quick response and clarifying that for me.

+Minuteman187 I will double check the ones I have but the last two I used did not have anything to stop them.
I have a question ( again :D) :

Try to clean the hands or the gloves or even something else?

I would just wash my hands with warm water and soap
+Minuteman187 Noticed it -_-
+Bi Commander Its better than doing nothing
not in your store?

thank iv8888 for helping me find the best medic on you tube :)
Thanks
what about some 88 cent walmart panty liners and some vet wrap?
I not a fan of the panty liners or tampons ... vet wrap and shirt haha
our docs carried tampons to stop up bullet holes.
I think there are better choices ... just my opinion
They fixed the Israeli Bandages they don't unroll anymore
Well in fact that's just a lightly evolved elastic band :/
New sub here!!!
#SkinnyMedic It seems like the Israeli bandage, this NAR 4" and the OLAES all have positives & negatives. Do you have a preference or does it depend on the situation?
I like the OLAES the best ... currently .. might change my mind in the future haha
Only flaw i have saw with the Olaes (6 inch) is the size. That thing is huge in a wrapper.
👍
5.99. i bot 10
Thank you for the support!
