The PerSys Medical Israeli Bandage is a 4-inch multi-role pressure dressing used by tactical operators, law enforcement, EMS personnel, and trained civilians to control moderate to severe external hemorrhage on extremity and head wounds.

The Israeli Bandage integrates four distinct capabilities into a single deployable device: direct wound coverage via a non-adherent sterile pad, circumferential compression through an elastic wrap, focused force multiplication through a C-shaped Pressure Bar, and tool-free closure via an integrated Closure Bar. This design allows a single operator to apply a complete hemorrhage control dressing without tape, knots, or additional equipment. The non-adherent pad surface prevents adhesion to clotted tissue, protecting wound integrity and reducing re-bleeding risk during removal at higher-echelon care.

The Pressure Bar is the critical differentiator in this device's field performance. After the elastic leader completes one full wrap around the limb, it routes through the Pressure Bar opening and reverses direction, mechanically levering concentrated downward force onto the wound pad. This focused pressure capability addresses bleeds where manual pressure alone is insufficient, making the bandage a viable primary intervention before tourniquet application becomes necessary.

The bandage carries FDA approval as a non-pneumatic tourniquet, but that application is secondary and high-risk, reserved for life-threatening extremity hemorrhage when a dedicated windlass or pneumatic tourniquet is unavailable and direct pressure has failed. The device is not designed for junctional wounds involving the groin, shoulder, or neck, which require junctional tourniquets or hemostatic agents. Readiness depends on packaging integrity: a hard, compressed vacuum seal confirms sterility, while a soft package indicates seal failure and must be removed from operational stock immediately.
