Israeli T3 Bandage

[OldCoot]

I keep Israeli pressure bandages in my get home bag, in my truck and in my regular medical kit. I have absolutely no medical training but this product has always seemed to be a great way to treat gunshot wounds and other bleeding trauma... such as after a car wreck. In shopping for additional ones for a new, specialized kit , I noticed they had a new, updated version... the T3. Well new for me. This has an expanded sterile pad, that can be used as is or detached for dressing for entry/exit wounds and multiple wound locations. Also now included is folded gauze for cleaning/packing and dressing.

I really like this item.

I keep the Israeli Battle Dressing in my blow-out bag, is the T3 a new version or new type?

Only 2 or 3 dollars more, may be worth replacing mine

New version. It acts exactly the same except that the sterile pad is now larger. If you note in the picture, it can flap out to cover more area or you can fold it in to double up on the pad thickness. This piece is also detachable, so that you can use it on say an exit wound or some other bleeder. I really like the roll of gauze which is included with it now.

A bus carrying gamblers from Huntsville, AL turned over down the road a bit on an icy overpass a few days ago. It was on the national news. Two died at the scene and many were injured. Between all the wrecks I'm seeing and all the mass shootings, I have decided to build a special trauma kit for just such an event. It is not a "normal" kit designed to solve lots of issues as I'm not a medic but is being built to simply try to stop bleeding after a mass casualty event. In the bag I am stocking multiple CAT Gen 7 tourniquets, multiple Israeli dressings, multiple Hyfin Vented chest seals, several Celox applicator & plunger sets, extra gauze and plenty of tape. Miscellaneous tools and items, such as glass hammer/seat belt cutter & bandage shears, will fill it out.

Hope I never have to use it but I am a prepper.

try to memorize cABCD...
c-traumatic bleeding
A-airway (open or not)
B-breathing ( patient or need help with it)
C-circulation ( if you feel a pulse on the wrist Bp is around 80-90,on the neck 60-80 ( then we are in a hurry) )
D-disability, (can the pationt move or not )

start with the little c- and stop the bleeding and then follow the letters...

Well that is getting too complicated for someone like me with absolutely no medical training. My goal is to keep it simple. Like plumbing, which I do around the farmstead, I wish to be prepared to stop leaks or to stop the flow when gushing. IMO, there seems to be little I could do to make such a casualty worse, by packing the wound with gauze or Celox and then bandaging with the T3. I understand the use of a tourniquet can have repercussions but if only used to stop a gusher, then it can only help and give the person a chance to survive.

Just seems logical to me that every prepper should have something similar to this bandage and also have a good tourniquet. It takes little skill to use them and the indicators for their use are very obvious... bleeding wounds or gushing blood. Point being, there seems to be little chance of making the injured person worse and can most certainly give them added time to survive.

well,my friend,you already know the basics.. it's like a plumber tells you have leak in your pipes,you don't fix it by adding more water,you stop the leak.
