WARNING: This is a high volume ping list

What can you say. Good allies are ALWAYS good allies, unlike the French.
Great story. I'd like to see a picture of the bandage.
Theses Bandages are incredible.. Used some in Afghanistan on a buddy and one in Iraq
I suppose it's time to ask for a list all of the technological innovations for which Arabs have been responsible in the past hundred years..... waiting.....still waiting.....
Is a bomb belt considered a technical innovation?
The Israelis are amazing. No wonder the world hates them.
You said it...
Actions speak louder than words...
Sounds basically like a large "ACE" bandage with a wound dressing pad attached on the inside.
Not everyone in the world hates the Israelis. Just the do-nothings, the know-nothings, and the professional haters. I note that Americans by and large support Israel. America and Israel have much in common. There is a natural simpatico between the two nations.
WARNING: This is a high volume ping list
The Emergency Bandage is individually packed, double-wrapped.
The outer OD green wrapper displays instructions for use. The inner vacuum-sealed wrapper is water-repellent and reduces weight and volume. The wrapper is sterile and disposable. |

First-aid treatment devices for the staunching of blood flow from traumatic hemorrhagic wounds in pre-hospital emergency situations feature: Immediate direct pressure to the wound site Quick, easy, personal, and professional application Consolidation of numerous treatment devices into a single unit Significant per treatment time and cost savings Designed with the end-user in mind Ease of application for both Victim and Care-Giver (even if the victim is his own care-giver). The sterile, non-adherent pad is placed on the wound. The application of direct pressure to the wound site is achieved by wrapping the elasticized woven leader over the topside of the bandage pad where the specially designed pressure bar is situated. The pressure bar is designed to readily accept the wrapping leader. After engagement of the pressure bar, wrapping the leader in any direction around the limb or body part and onto the pressure bar forces the pressure bar down onto the pad creating the direct pressure needed to bring about homeostasis. The pressure bar, in addition to its primary function, facilitates bandaging. The elastic bandage uses the rigid shape of the pressure bar to change direction while bandaging, thus affording the caregiver more options for effective dressing of the wound. Subsequent wrappings of the leader secures and maintains the pad in place over the wound, and by covering all the edges of the pad acts as a sterile secondary dressing. The bandage leader is woven wide and will not bunch up or twist itself into a rope. The closure system of the bandage is multi-functional yet simple, quick, and familiar. Situated at the end of the leader is a closure bar (dowel with hooking clips) at each end to secure the wrapping leader the same way that a pen is secured in a shirt pocket. The closure bar holds the bandage securely in place over the wound site. If additional pressure is required the closure bar is easily removed from its normal closure position and inserted between previous layers of the leader directly above the protruding pressure bar and rotated. This rotation acts to screw down the pressure bar onto the wound to exert blood-staunching pressure. The closure bar is used as before to secure the dressing. |

What's the EMERGENCY BANDAGE all about?
The Emergency Bandage is for the untrained lay person as well as the paramedical professional. The bandage combines design and quick and easy application to free the caregiver from searching for additional equipment. Focus and control in treatment are enhanced.
The Emergency Bandage saves time in an emergency situation where every second is crucial. The sooner the treatment begins the better the victim’s chances of survival, particularly in cases of hemorrhaging. As one unit the bandage performs multiple functions, and therefore enhances the treatment provided.
The Emergency Bandage provides injury victims acting alone the ability to accomplish the entire bandaging operation independently, including tourniquet application, even if using only one hand.
The Emergency Bandage consolidates the functions of numerous (currently separate) pieces of equipment into one easy-to-use unit. Application is simple and quick. Consolidation of functions makes treatment more efficient, both medically and economically.
Compared to current treatments the Emergency Bandage proves to be an improved life-sustaining device at a competitive price.
Immediate and effective direct pressure to the wound may reduce the need for a tourniquet application. This is an important benefit as tourniquet applications are to be avoided and used only as a last resort. If a tourniquet is required the closure bar is removed from above the pressure bar and inserted between previous revolutions of the wrapping leader 5cm above the wound, over the blood vessel, and rotated. This rotation twists the wrapping leader until the blood flow to the wound site is constricted. After a tourniquet has been achieved, the hooking clips are used to secure and maintain the tourniquet as well as the secondary sterile wound covering which is still in place.

Happy New Year! Glad to see your back! Love to see your Front!......
Disappointingly (was hoping my wait was over) I think we can actually give that one to the Tamil Tigers who used a similar device and tactic to assassinate Rajiv Ghandi a few years before the Intifada and Palestinian homicide bombings began. What's interesting is that your typical Israeli and your typical Palestinian are as close to being genetically identical as you can get. Sort of puts the "nature vs. nurture" debate in perspective.
What is amazing to me is that the Army couldnt buy the bandage because they only buy products every four years.
What kid of crap is that?
If it were a new weapon they would buy it.
