Just wanted to say thanks. After watching this video several months ago I bought one to put in my blow out kit. A few days ago I severely injured my knee in a chainsaw accident. I was able to stop the bleeding fast with this bandage and drive myself to an ER. Thanks again for a great video!
This product just saved my life. Had a torrential post surgery bleed once I was at home. Isreali bandage stopped the heavy venous bleed with ease as I was starting to feel light headed.
@@freedomridermorty4459, carry your stuff in gallon bags. Save the money on the vent bandages. For a sucking chest wound, you can use tape and the gallon bag. Save money and get multiple uses out of valuable space in your pack.
I would recommend that, after placing the absorbent pad over the wound, the first wrap should be above the wound, overlapping to the side of the cleat -- the second wrap should be below the wound, overlapping on the other side of the cleat -- and the third wrap should be through the cleat. This process will "seal" the wound area to prevent the incursion of infectious agents. Thereafter, the counter-pull on the cleat, the remaining wraps around the limb, and the securing of the loose end can proceed as usual.
I always knew the Israelis did their history lesson well, here, the bandage they came up with... pure simplicity and utility. Anything you need in an emergency situation when you are shocked or under great stress. I bow to you whoever patented this.
Been a EMT for 17 years and I struggle with all kinds of dressing and watching this video puts me in awe! That’s give me why couldn’t I have I thought of that! Definitely will be getting some for my jump kit
I was given eight or ten of these about ten years ago. Have one in every bag and kit. Never had to use one, but at least now I know how to do it. Thanks
@A B Israel*, and not everything is Paid by US money. The company that was creating those, also was sold about 20 years ago to an American company, so it paid it self over and over again and saved many lives. You're welcome.
Thanks for posting this. I read up on best wound bandages, and this one got top compliments. I bought a few for my personal med kit but had no idea how to use it. Now I do!
For those that are potentially confused about Desert MARPAT MCCUU, it stands for Desert Marine Pattern (MARPAT) Marine Corps Combat Utility Uniform (MCCUU).
Just got the news ones. The first video I watched (yours) makes perfect sense. No long-winded instructions, but the Why-For's explained. Thank you. Subbed.
Thank you. I'm a truck driver and I come upon many accidents (or cause them according to eye witnesses). I am building up a medical kit, and I saw these, but not sure how to use them. So I now know, and will be adding these.
Very good info. Thanks much for posting. As a former paramedic and RN this is very useful info. Most grateful for your efforts to help us learn about this new dressing. Respectfully,
I never knew how these worked so never bought any... but now that I do (thx 2 U) I'll have to buy some! I appreciate you taking the time to show us how these are used. I sub'd!
Great video... Just need to remember to tuck the wrapper under the last outer wrap so who ever is taking it off knows what they are working with.... Thanks..
Israeli Bandages are really useful pieces of equipment, they can pull multiple duties and are passable is several areas. Well worth owning, and more so, training with! Well done.
I have one of these in my IFAK, and this demo video made knowing how to use it simple and intuitive, much moreso than the directions on the packaging. Hopefully I won't ever have to use it real-world, but it's good that I know how should the need arise.
Thanks for the demo. I noticed that some instructors recommend wrapping an overlap above and below the first round in order to keep dirt/debris from getting under the edge of the bandage.
Patrick Boyle Correct, the whole bandage needs to be covered by the wraps. Once proximal and once distal to the injury may do it, then thru the pressure bar and pull back the other way. The turns above and below also prevent the IB from shifting. I like the IB because it has a long tail. Some people have enormously fat upper legs and use up a lot of bandage..you don't want to run out of wrap.For added pressure twist as you go thru the pressure bar.There are a number of ways, all correct.
Carry one in our Hockey puck bag--never know when a skate cut is going to go hard and deep...found a Czech army ammo bag with pockets---big opening holds the pucks (about 30) side pocket has an Israeli Bandage, other pockets; gloves, scissors, gauze, tape, breathing mask...thanks for the reminder demo.
If a bandage's outer wrapper is opened and kept, it'll become contaminated with whatever is around it. If it is going to be used to occlude a chest wound to cause it not to leak air into the chest cavity, keep one bandage in its' original wrapper until the outer wrap is needed to occlude such a chest wound. Tim
I watched another video on youtube by the manufacturer of the Israeli Dressing and it says to ensure that the pressure clip is to the side of the wound, NOT on top of.
Not even finished with the video and have to applaud you for keeping your matter in place. When you grabbed that little piece of plastic from flying away, I wanted to buy you a beer! Bravo my dude, bravo. One planet!
I got all the essential gear and put it in a small drug store kit bag. You can sure fit a lot more stuff in when you pack it properly. Instead of a backpack I can fit it all in a small case. Tournaquiet attached to outside. I understand that you may have the worry about everything falling out of there if it is an emergency but thats pretty unrealistic unless you are on the move or on a battlefield. For camping or home/car use I think being able to get more essentials into something I would actually bring with me is beneficial.
@jokertim777 They have Entry/Exit designed bandages. One way you could do it is packing the entry and wrapping the exit. I have a few of the 4-inch Israeli bandages that I keep in my medic bag and my everyday carry bag. As for handling GSWs; look for exits (not always there or straight-through), cover and wrap. Packing and such needs a little more training.
Just so you know, by removing the outer package, you are compromising the guaranteed sterility of the bandage. All of these multi-packed devices are packed that way for a reason. The job of the outermost packing is as a moisture barrier. The inner packaging will allow the transfer of water vapor and who knows what else.
Absolute sterility is gone the second you open the (inner) pkg anyway. The beauty of the IBD is the compact immediate wound cover w the added bene of some direct pressure. Lack of sterility will be dealt with down the road. Think too of the cause of the wound in the first place: something had already broken the skin barrier --something in all likelihood not so sterile. Don't sweat the small....
fun fact.... most deaths in ww2 were from environmental causes, and sepsis(septic shock). Not exsanguination Second fun fact, when the gun power goes off from the primer, the heat/flash goes past the bullet, not just built up behind it(often from rifling in the barrel), and is enough so to kill most if not all bacteria and viruses that may be residing on the bullet. tldr; Most infections in bullet wounds don't come from the bullet itself, and in the world's biggest war, more deaths were from infection than blood loss involving bullet wounds. So yes, we SHOULD care about the dressing put on... Especially if you had it in a go-pack with the external seal broken for the past year, and now all sorts of bacteria has made it into the IBD, and possibly even begun to grow mold.
TheSkiingJeep difference is in WW2 we didn't have antibiotics widely available enough to deal with the number of people with infections. These days it basically doesn't matter provided you can get proper medical aid after stopping the imminent threat of death from bloodloss.
rengewwj Inner packaging is vaccum sealed as well, so nothing is getting through. Also, this is typically for an emergency, so unless you're out in the wild for several days, when you get to the hospital yoy'll get plenty of antibiotics.
Hi, im a combat medic in the IDF and i have a question, you said the you can use the wrap to stop a sucking chest wound? I wanted to asy why? Because its clearly the opposite of what i have learned anyways
um no, the second and third wraps go high and low to cover the ends and prevent dirt and debris from gettin in. the last wrap is back center and clamps. been using those since they came out. retired army infantry
@jokertim777 No problem, just keep in mind that for any severe bleed--you want pressure. Preferably gloved hands, and then pressure, but if nothing else a rag or even just your hands and then press as hard as you can on the wound.

I have them, but I'm on a budget and can't afford to open one without using it, so it's very helpful to see it in use. Thanks

This is by far one of the best explanations and demonstrations I have ever scene for these. Thank you!
Aside from the intro there’s basically no fluff. I skip to 1:20 in every video to get past the bullshit. Big thanks to delivering info, as-needed.
Thanks for the demo, my friend. These battle dressings have really evolved since I used them in Vietnam as a young hospital corpsman.
Did you carry tampons?
"What ya need to understand" is an example of NCO speak.

Thanks for the demo. Always wondered how it's done. Due to this video I will definitely be looking to get a few of these.
Concise and precise. I like the product and presentation. From Switzerland 🇨🇭 👍
the 5 people who dislike this video bled to death lol

Wow, what an incredible improvement over the field dressings of olden days. Such simple improvements make it so much more effective.
Thanks for the demo. I noticed that some instructors recommend wrapping an overlap above and below the first round in order to keep dirt/debris from getting under the edge of the bandage.
What’s wrong with getting some natural earth in your wound? 🤷♂️
You need to ask???

Thats exactly how they teach us in the IDF
Great demonstration, thank you. I just bought an I-Fak with an Israeli dressing in it and would have no clue how to use it except for this video.
Thanks! Exactly what I needed to know. setting up some custom first aid bags for day hikes and think we might throw these in.
Perfect, I needed a reminder after a recent class. Thanks for putting this together.
I just put together an IFAK and included an Israeli bandage b/c everyone recommends it. Now I know how to use it! Thanks!!
I get em all the time for work through Amazon.com. Order em often- never used em. Supposed to be a great product. I'll take the word of the Israelis..
You and me both. Never had to use one, but I'll take practical use experience any day!
Was a 173rd medic in Afghanistan. We had these. Worked well.
awesome!!!!!! I have 5 of these in my med kit...gifts from a buddy who's a combat medic with the National Guard!!
A great demonstration! Thanks!
This is great. Thank you so much for sharing and simplifying.
Thank you!
And thank you for your service!

Very good improvements over the Carlisle bandage we had in our medic's bag back in the 60's!
They're implementing this in civilian EMS now in Indiana and I swung by to see wtf an Israeli dressing is. Thanks for the video!
quick + clean explanation--thanks!!
So clever an idea. I just hope that world militaries etc., will adopt a version of this and so save lives and limbs.
If a bandage's outer wrapper is opened and kept, it'll become contaminated with whatever is around it.
If it is going to be used to occlude a chest wound to cause it not to leak air into the chest cavity, keep one bandage in its' original wrapper until the outer wrap is needed to occlude such a chest wound.

This is going right to my edc medkit
Thrust our Israeli friends to come up with a great idea like this.
Ah sure they've been invading, occupying and murdering people since 1948, they've lots of experience of taking casualties
Great demonstration and product! Thank you for keeping it simple ❤️
Excellent, outstanding 👏 👌 precise and concise, thanks a lot
These things are awesome!
ive just got me one for when im out on a explore🙏
Thank you for explaining the cleat function!
See God’s chosen people bless the whole world in almost everything they invent
Very educational on the use of the Israeli dressing! Thank you
Perfect. Straight to the point.
Excellent instructive video, thank you.
They should sponsor you, I’m buying one right now. Great video ❤️✅💯
Great video and demo. I always wonderd how the look and how they were used
Thanks for the Helpful Video!
THANKS MAN , I DIDN'T KNOW THIS 💪❤🙏
It's actually better to do several wraps first through the cleat to get some more bandage there then go back the other way for tension.
Learn how to before needing one. Very practical advice.
CAN YOU DO MORE OF THESE TYPE VIDEOS?
Very glad to see this ! Definitely gonna get a few of these !
I dead-ass read this video title as "israeli Bondage Demonstration"
I was like: whoa! My fetish interest is peaked.

Please, What other advantages they have, except the obvius, that it can close a big wound? Thanks in advance
Just imagine the 11 years old technology of Israel
So amazing product.

Thank you.. very helpful.. I have these in a couple of first aid kits but have never seen them 'used'.
Pretty cool, thank you for the info. I bought a three pack from amazon. And I think I going to ditch the outer packaging after watching this.
Just keep a blade in your kit to open them. If this is in a real blow-out bag you'll want all the protection you can get.
P.S. I was one of the first 18Ds to test this gear when it first came out.
You should really wrap around the sides and then through the middle. It provides a better hold.
Doc B.
thanks i have them but never new how to use it,
That was very useful, thank you. I hope I never need to use this information but it's nice information to have, subscribed.
Good demo, we keep this in our Medi Packs for the work we do..... (chainsaws and the like) best demo I've seen; thank you
Great reminder 👍🏼
Been hearing about these for years never even thought about how I've never actually seen this done
Excellent video! Thx
um no, the second and third wraps go high and low to cover the ends and prevent dirt and debris from gettin in. the last wrap is back center and clamps. been using those since they came out. retired army infantry

@jokertim777 No problem, just keep in mind that for any severe bleed--you want pressure. Preferably gloved hands, and then pressure, but if nothing else a rag or even just your hands and then press as hard as you can on the wound.
I understand the thought process behind opening the outer package but until i take my next course in a couple weeks I'll keep them sealed.
