PerSys Medical Israeli Emergency Bandage 4"

I ordered from this seller because they offered the lowest price for Israeli Bandages. Turns out I made a great choice. After placing my order, I was pleased to discover that my Israeli Bandage was shipping from none other than Israel. It doesn't get any more authentic than that. I can't recall exactly how long the shipping time was, but it arrived only a few days after some other medical products I ordered at the same time from distributors located near me in the United States. Pretty impressive shipping time considering the distance. The item arrived in perfect condition, rock hard compressed in its original vacuum sealed packaging (a nice feature that allows you to confirm the integrity of the product's seal protecting its sterility). The manufacturer's packaging confirmed that the bandage was a product of Israel. The packaging also informed me that the item had been packaged and sterilized only four months prior to my order, leaving a generous four years and eight months until the expiration date. For those interested, the packaging is sorta ACU gray with an OD green label on both sides. One side lists general information about the contents while the other side provides basic usage instructions (in English) accompanied by diagrams. Summary: -Quality, authentic product -Fast shipping, considering country of origin -Fresh manufacture date Overall, a great choice.

A superb addition to any trauma kit--add a bag of Celox and a SWAT-T and you are pretty much good for about anything that a layman could take on anyway. Because this bandage is sealed, you could toss it into your car, your coat, your desk or locker, or any pack/kit. I really recommend putting it everywhere you tend to be, as you never know when you or someone else might need it. Instructions are on the back, so when you need to use it just open it and smooth out the package for easy reminding. Note that I say reminding--as with any item involving a possible life and death moment you should take the time for learning how to use it right ahead of time. If you can't find someone local in your emergency services who has experience with it, go to Youtube for live demos. Because it is relatively inexpensive, you can always get one for practice/learning anyway. Put this in your BOB (preferably two or more). Hunting bags, backpacking bags, travel bags, commuting bags, whatever. Put it in.

These are compression bandages. This means that they have the ability to not only cover the wound and absorb bleeding but it also applies pressure to the wound with aids in the stoppage of blood flow. It has a little plastic compression bar in which you feed the bandage and through the bar, double it back on itself and continue to wrap the opposite way. This causes the bar to apply pressure to the wound and you can make it as tight or as loose as desired. Careful not to cause a tourniquet effect (although this could be used as one most likely in a pinch) if it is something that can be treated otherwise. Cutting of blood flow (unless necessary) can cause problems for other appendages down the blood stream...... I haven't one yet, however I have gotten several and I have a tendency to take at least a bandage from each order out of the packaging to see how it is and to use as a demo unit to the family members and friends. They are typically double wrapped meaning there is a plastic inner package as well to help keep sterility. The outer packages have visual aid instructions to help out with someone that isn't familiar with it. From what research I did on this product before I bought it has been a factor in saving lives across the world, on the battlefield and off. I try to do a bit of background checking before I just off and buy one.

I always carry one of these on my long distance hikes or search and rescue. Last year I had a really bad fall and needed to use it. As so happy I had it. I just ordered another about a month ago and just received it. Direct from Israel so just be aware shipping time will take a few weeks. The best first aide item I carry!

From battle zones to work zones to play zones, I've seen numerous occasions where this would be useful- or was, in fact necessary. Basically, it's a thick gauze pad sewn to an extra long ace wrap, but this is exactly what the situation calls for when there's a significant wound that doesn't run too deep. It will add compression, so it helps to stop bleeding, though not as effectively as a tourniquet, nor a blood clotting device like Celox or X-Stat. But the usually you aren't going to use this if you have that kind of wound, unless it's the finishing touch on treating the wound. This is something that I keep in the truck med kit and the wilderness SAR pack. Probably a good idea to have with you for extended back country trips, whether you ski, hunt, paddle, climb, or just trek. A must, if you are going to be around hostile gunfire (standard kit for an IFAK), and always good for the car. This is useful for finalizing treatment of anything from major skin rashes, to burns, serious scrapes, and slicing wounds. I would opt for other things first, when dealing with deep puncture wounds, and may also want to keep the final wound treatment thinner, so I can keep a ready eye on how well the bleeding has stopped, so this isn't my first option for hemmoragic wounds. It's also not for use on chest punctures. But I would use it for moderate bleeding wounds.

I bought 2x these single packs and a twin pack. The 2x singles were actually cheaper than a twin pack. All four were identical, from the same lot, manufactured 2020-11, expiring 2028-11, so still have a good 7 years left. The look legit to me. Have the PerSysMedical logo, and are manufactured by First Care Products Ltd in Israel. All had good vacuum seals. They are about 120x60x35mm, and weigh 63-68g. The flat end you open them from has a notch at the top and on each side, so they should be quick and easy to deploy. I hope they never need to be deployed.

Have purchased several now. Good quality genuine israeli. Postage time far too long though.

Great product, has gone into my hiking first aid kit, really long expiry date so I don't have to worry about it; bought it as I thought better safe than sorry.

Arrived fast. Hopefully it will never be used.
