Today, we will tell how to test the quality of the Israeli bandage.

Firstly, let’s see the Key components of the Israeli bandage.

• Non-adherent sterile pad : Eliminating the risk of causing pain and having the wound re-opened upon removal of the bandage.
• Elasticized cloth : Keeping the wound area clean and maintaining the pad and pressure on the wound firmly in place, including immobilization of the injured limb or body part.
• Pressure applicator : Creating the immediate direct pressure to the wound site.
• Closure bar : Enabling closure and fixation of the Emergency Bandage at any point, on all parts of the body: no pins and clips, no tape, no velcro, no knots.

Secondly, let’s see the quality.
