If those things do not control the bleeding then a turniquet is the next option, but there are hazards associated with the use of turniquets. Learn these hazards. If ya don’t know what you’re doing you can cause the loss of a limb by inappropriately cutting off all blood flow for extended periods of time.

Wrap the bandage tightly around the wound — even over the pressure applicator clip. Don’t worry about that little string, it’s just there to keep the bandage together as you unwrap it. Unwrap the bandage hard enough that the string pops and keep going. Though the Israeli bandage probably isn't the first choice for a tourniquet, in a pinch, you can improvise the Israeli bandage to act as a tourniquet. Here's how to use the Israeli bandage to create tourniquet-like pressure:Israel is a land of immigrants. While most of my friends were born here, their grandparents were born in places like Iraq, Russia, Yemen, Morocco, Poland, or even Romania – like mine. So it’s not uncommon for dinner tables to include a mix of Lebanese, Italian, and Bulgarian cuisine, all at once. Everyone will happily mix everything in their plate, and will make a point of explaining to you how authentic their grandmother’s food is, and how it is better than yours. I have been a paramedic since 1979. The israeli bandage is a great tool. I highly recommend them. Don’t however, think you have to have one to accomplish the task, stop the bleeding. You can accomplish the same thing with A pressure applicator placed over the wound to stop bleeding by applying pressure. [2] It allows changing the direction of the bandage and wrapping it around the wound once in various directions. It also makes bandaging easier. It is especially useful for stopping bleeding in groin and head injuries. [3] And, if needed, you can apply the Israeli bandage around the chest to help stabilize a flail segment in the ribs. Just be careful you don't restrict breathing! This is the newest addition to the family of pressure bandages and it’s definitely worth a look. The OLAES works the same way as the Israeli except instead of a clip applying pressure, a small plastic cup has been sewn into the fabric to add the needed pressure.

Hummus – For a classic meal, serve it alongside a bowl of hummus and pita bread (I make my own almond flour pita bread, though it’s not traditional), or with gyros. Apply pressure to the bleed: Before you attempt to unwrap the Israeli bandage, begin applying pressure with your hand. Then, you can pass that job off to a partner, your knee, or (if the patient is able) ask the patient to hold pressure while you prepare the bandage. In the era preceding Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF), US military medics would take wounded soldiers from battlefields to hospitals for treatment. This often resulted in prolonged and irreversible loss of blood. Today, the tactic of caring for wounded soldiers has changed and the wounds are treated in the battlefield. The Israeli Bandage, which can be applied with only one hand, successfully stops bleeding and has been used by the armies of the United States, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, and other countries. [3] Secure the rod underneath the edge of the elastic. Consider using tape to prevent the windlass from unwinding. Besides being a great cup-style pressure dressing that does the core job well, what sets the OLAES apart is that it can be disassembled into other pieces that may be helpful on their own:A square plastic sheet, intended to be used as a non-vented chest seal — not as good as your primary vented chest seal, but decent in a pinch

T3 Israeli Bandage : This bandage has all the features of the 6-inch version; however, it comes with a fold-out piece of gauze (for larger wounds), and it also has a separate roll of gauze.As the saying goes, the more you know, the less you need! With a little practice, there are many medical items you can improvise. The very bare essentials – which are, just like everything else in Israel, up for discussion – are cucumbers, tomatoes, and onion. The rest is up to your liking, and the amount of chopping patience you have. Just a handful of raw vegetables, finely chopped (“dak dak”) and well-dressed (just olive oil and freshly squeezed lemon juice), will make a tasty bowlful of goodness. Great as a side, or on its own as a light meal.
