Emergency Bandage

[5] For years, one of the most preventable causes of death in non-fatally wounded people has been the inability to quickly and effectively stop bleeding.

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.

[1] In 1990–1991, the idea and the design were developed enough to apply for Israeli Government support from the Office of the Chief Scientist in the Ministry of Industry.

The application allowed Bar-Natan to become a part of a technology incubator program in Jerusalem's Har Hotzvim, with a government grant covering 3/4 of the expenses connected to the research and development of the bandage.

They are similar to elastic bandages used to treat sprain injuries, but have three unique features: Newer versions, such as T3 and the 9T, include features such as gauze for additional wrapping, extra pads, abdominal pads to cover eviscerations, and moisture seals to cover wounds and burns.
