The Emergency Bandage FCP02 is the only FDA-approved bandage that functions as a non-pneumatic tourniquet, making it essential for controlling severe bleeding in emergency situations. Capable of applying 30-40+ lbs of direct pressure on a wound, this multi-functional bandage is suitable for a variety of traumatic injuries. Its compact, lightweight design and waterproof, vacuum-sealed packaging make it easy to carry and store in any first aid kit. The bandage is sterile and boasts an impressive 8-year shelf life, ensuring it is ready when needed.
Featuring an integrated pressure bar, it delivers immediate and direct pressure to the wound, providing optimal hemostasis. The built-in closure bar eliminates the need for pins, clips, tape, hook-and-loop fasteners, or knots, offering a quick and secure application. The non-adherent 6-inch pad ensures that removal causes minimal pain and prevents wound re-opening. In addition to its superior performance, the bandage is a cost-effective solution for treating traumatic wounds.
Since its adoption by the United States Army Rangers in 2001, the Emergency Bandage®, also known as The Israeli Bandage®, has been the standard of care for hemorrhage control.

EASE OF OPERATION
1. The Israeli Emergency Bandage has efficient blood staunching capability and offers ease of operation:The sterile, non-adherent pad is placed on the wound.
2. The application of immediate 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 and hold the wrapping leader.
3. 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.
4. In addition to its primary function, the pressure bar also 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.
5. 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 to remain at its full width and will not bunch up or twist itself into a rope.
6. 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.
7. If additional pressure is required the closure bar is easily removed from its first closure position and inserted between previous layers of the leader directly above the protruding pressure bar and rotated. This rotation of the closure bar acts to further press down the pressure bar onto the wound to exert blood-staunching pressure. The closure bar is used as before to secure the dressing.
