Buy OLAES 4" Modular Bandage Now
An EMT friend of mine just turned me on to this item and I'm glad he did. I am used to using Israeli Bandages and this serves the same function however it has a couple interesting features. For one, it has removable gauze stashed inside the bandage so if you need to cover an entry and exit wound then you have the gauze for one side and the regular bandage part for the other! The little cup which serves to add pressure when you wrap a wound can also be used to protect an eye injury.One issue I have with this item is that once you open the tan main packaging, the bandage is not in another smaller plastic bag like traditional Israeli bandages. This isn't a major issue but I would have prefered that it came in another smaller sterile plastic bag. All in all, I really like this product.I like the olaes over the israeli, however the largest I've found is 6" bandage, this one being a 4". So for limb and smaller torso hemorrhaging, these are great, for large abdominal/torso wounds, there is an israeli 12". The plastic "thumb" presser, is actually for helping applying direct pressure, as well as continuing to apply pressure from the wrap stretched over ittaking place of what would have been several gauzes mashed on top of eachother to create extra pressure. An innovative invention that worked. I know. Astonishing.
