The bandages are being manufactured in Lod, Israel, by First Care Products Ltd.[1] The company's motto is a saying from Talmud: Save One Life, Save a World.

Lessard write in Military Medicine journal that "[t]he first step in containing seriously wounded casualties is to control the hemorrhage as much as possible."[2] The US military used to take wounded soldiers from battlefields to hospitals for treatment. This often resulted in irreversible loss of blood. Today, the tactic of caring for wounded soldiers has changed and the wounds are treated at the spot. Israeli bandages that can be applied with only one hand are successfully used to stop bleeding by the armies of the US, Australia, New Zealand, and other countries.[3] David Kleinman, a SWAT team medic who devised a first aid kit used to treat victims of the 2011 Tucson shooting, said that "deputies reached for the emergency bandage 'over and over at the scene'" of the shooting.[4] [edit] History of development When in 1984 the bandage's inventor Bernard Bar-Natan was in training to become a military medic, he noticed that some of the bandages they used to stop bleeding had a manufacture date of 1942 or sometimes even 1938, the other bandages that were manufactured a month ago had the same design and the same features as 1942 bandages did.[5][1] The students were advised to grab a stone and to use it to apply a pressure to a wound that would not clot on its own. Bar-Natan started work on a new generation of bandages that would not rely on the "grab a stone" approach, but would have a pressure bar built in a bandage itself.[1] In 19901991, the idea and the design were developed enough to apply for Government support to 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 Jerusalems Har Hotzvim, with a government grant covering 3/4 of the expenses connected to the research and development of the bandage.[1] It took three more years to develop the bandages enough to try to sell them. It was not an easy task not only because the emergency bandages were an unproven product, but also their inventor had no prior business record.[1] A Belgian medical equipment distributor was the first sale in 1998.[1] Today, the four person startup company produces 1.5 to 2 million bandages a year.[1] [edit] Bandages "The emergency bandage is an elasticized bandage with a non-adhesive bandage pad sewn in. The bandage has a built-in pressure bar, which allows the soldier to twist the bandage around the wound once, and then change the direction of the bandage, wrapping it around the limb or body part, to create pressure on the wound. Aside from this, the pressure bar also makes bandaging easier. A closure bar at the end of the bandage means that it clips neatly into place and will not slip."[3] The bandages come in three different sizes: 4, 6, and 8 inches wide.[2] They are similar to elastic bandages that are used to treat sprain injuries, but they have three features that are unique to them: the sterile non-adhering dressing that is designed to allow removing of a bandage without reopening a wound.[2] the pressure applicator or the pressure bar that is placed directly over a wound to stop the bleeding by applying pressure.[2] It allows to wrap the bandage around a wound in a different directions. This is a useful feature for stopping bleeding in groin and head injuries.[3] the closure bar that is used to secure the bandage and to apply an additional pressure to a wound. The closure bar can be used by a "simple sliding motions with one hand."[2] Military doctors Nolan Shipman and Charles S Lessard write in Military Medicine journal that "The emergency bandage's sterile, nonadherent pad applies pressure to any site, can be easily wrapped and secured, and has an additional application, similar to a tourniquet, to further constrict blood flow".[2] [edit] References ^ a b c d e f g h i j David Horowitz (4/29/20011).
