Israeli Emergency Bandage 6"

The Israeli Emergency Bandage 6" from Safeguard Medical is the full-size, combat-proven all-in-one trauma pressure dressing trusted by military, law enforcement, and first responders in over 50 countries. Its larger 6" non-adherent sterile pad, built-in pressure applicator bar, full-length elastic bandage, and closure bar make it the preferred choice for large-area wounds, thigh and junctional injuries, and traumatic amputations. FDA-cleared as a non-pneumatic tourniquet and standard issue for U.S. Army soldiers since 2001.

4" vs 6" Emergency Bandage

• 4": Compact and lightweight. Best for arm, lower leg, hand, and scalp wounds. Ideal for IFAK pouches and EDC kits. Shop 4" here.
• 6" (this product): Larger pad for bigger wounds. Preferred for thigh, groin, shoulder, and torso. Better for severe or large-area bleeds and traumatic amputations where the 4" pad won't provide adequate coverage.

Application

1. Place the non-adherent sterile pad directly against the wound.
2. Feed the elastic bandage through the pressure bar on the first pass, positioning the bar directly over the wound site.
3. Wrap the bandage in circular passes around the limb or body area, maintaining firm pressure with each layer.
4. Secure with the built-in closure bar. No clips or tape required.
5. If additional pressure is needed, insert the closure bar between previous bandage layers directly above the pressure bar and rotate to increase downward force.
6. Note the time of application. Reassess for tourniquet need if bleeding is not controlled.
