I've actually used one of these to treat a bullet wound. Grazing shot. neatly packed, easy to use, small to carry in compact aid kit. I never thought I would use one until I did. Replaced it right away, it never leaves my EDC now.
These are going in my preps. I'm glad I am able to get these.
Great price but haven't used one yet
in all kits ,fast service
good product. hope to never need it.

Description
This is a sterile bandage in a a tightly-sealed vacuum bag. It is carried by every Israeli Army (IDF) soldier regularly on the field, in training and in combat, and even in office bases. Please do not confuse this army dressing with the other famous Israeli bandage with the pressure bar - we sell that one too, but on other listings. Please click on our store link to find those. Pad size- 4"x4"/ 10cmx10cm. Dressing length- 70"/ 88cm.
First off let me say that those that are saying that the title of the product is "slightly" (heavy emphasis on slightly) misleading probably could be due to the fact it does state "compression" bandage. Some people may automatically think that with it saying that and "Israeli bandage" that they are getting the bandage with the compression bar. Well with that said, its all in how you read it. It straight up says its an army dressing and even has the picture of the product you are going to get. So if anyone actually looks and researches then they know straight away this isn't the "Israeli" that the GI's carry. This is a simple dressing with the gauze tie straps. The standard bandage carried the world over for a very long time. Think if it like the bandage from the Carlisle First aid kits issued to GI's during the second world war. Also the bandage is compressed to fit into kits and pouches better :) . See its all in how you read it. Now with ALL that said. I did get 10 when they came in, and I opened one up to make sure it was what I thought it was going to be. It was indeed. Just a bandage pad with the gauze sewn together to make it a one stop package to dress a wound. These fit GREAT into a 1st aid kit or in my case a hunting/range/(semi) EDC bag. In all honesty I suppose 30 bucks for 10 is OK considering one Emergency Battle Dressing (with the compression bar aka "Israeli") is at least 8 bucks. However, wont lie, if they go on sale of discounted a bit more then I would definitely order again to stock up to have them around the house 30 bucks again just a bit on the higher side. These are good for basic first aid when don't want to take up space for gauze pads and a roll and with the fact its an all in one dressing kinda justifies the cost I suppose.
Good cheap "Blow out Patch" to keep on hand. Not the whiz bang, apply with one hand models out now, but beats a sick in the eye. Keep the good ones in main kits, but this is ok to keep on second level kits or just sprinkled in bags/packs.
Best way to build up first aid kit supplies -- keeps the price well below what even plain compressed gauze would cost.
Vacuum sealed, they are like old usgi pressure bandages... I like them
have not had to use it but it fits
