Border Police Field-Test Innovative Israeli Bandage
(Israel Hayom) Itsik Saban - Israel's Border Police will equip their medics in the Jerusalem area with Israeli-made Woundclot hemostatic bandages, which help save lives by making the blood flowing from wounds clot faster. The new bandages can stop bleeding from gunshot or stab wounds in 40 seconds or less, even in a wound to an artery or to the stomach. Medics tested the bandages during the recent wave of terrorist attacks in Jerusalem, and they proved efficient in stopping bleeding quickly and keeping victims alive while they were being transferred to hospitals. "The bandage is very effective for massive bleeding and at points where it's very difficult to stop bleeding, like the neck or internally," said Staff Sgt. Maj. Shalom Bitton.
