What Our Customers Say

Got 4 of these for my range bag. Hope to never need to use but for the low cost these are cheap insurance. I especially like the packaging. Vacuum packed saves space in a crowded gear bag. Shipping was fast. Will definitely recommend to fellow shooters and friends.

Excellent bandage. I have used these bandages on several occasions to stop the bleed on moderate to severe injuries. This bandage contains several useful items inside of one package. This is an excellent bandage also for the inexperienced to use while under fire or stress.

I keep one of these in my backpack, my gun bag, my vehicle, etc. Combine this with a Tourniquet and keep them everywhere. This version of the Israeli (T3) comes with additional piece of gauze for treating wounds.

FAQs

What types of pressure dressings does Rescue Essentials carry? −
We carry pressure dressings and emergency trauma bandages from Israeli Emergency Bandage, OLAES, NAR, Hartmann, and our own Rescue Essentials brand. All of the pressure dressings we carry can be used by professionals and civilians to control bleeding and cover wounds in the field.
What is the difference between an Israeli Bandage and an OLAES Bandage? +
The Israeli Emergency Bandage uses a pressure bar and closure system for direct wound compression – compact and designed for one-handed self-application. The OLAES Modular Bandage integrates gauze, an occlusive sheet, and a pressure cup into one package, intended to only require using only gross motor skills to open and apply. Choose the Israeli for compact simplicity or the OLAES for built-in versatility.
Which dressing should I include in my IFAK? +
Most IFAKs include at least one pressure dressing alongside a tourniquet, hemostatic gauze, and chest seal. The Israeli Bandage is popular for its compact size. The OLAES is strong if you want built-in gauze and an occlusive sheet. The Slishman Pressure Wrap is an alternative option that can achieve tourniquet-level pressures but can also be used as a secondary dressing, splint application tool, elastic wrap, or sling. Choose based on your available space, protocol, and training level.
Do these dressings expire? +
Most pressure dressings carry manufacturer-stamped expiration dates, typically several years from production. Expiration applies to the sterility of the packaging, not the materials themselves. Store in a cool, dry place, inspect your kits regularly, and rotate stock before expiration.
What other components pair with pressure dressings for bleeding control in a trauma kit? +
For a complete bleeding control setup, pair dressings with a tourniquet, hemostatic gauze or compressed gauze. Add chest seals, airway tools, a hypothermia wrap for a full TCCC kit. Browse our Components collection or pre-built trauma kits and IFAKs to round out your setup.
What other dressings are available? +
We also stock Silverlon antimicrobial dressings, CoFlex foam dressings, petrolatum dressings, and nosebleed products from NasaClip and Nampons.
Can I buy dressings in bulk or at agency pricing? +
Yes. Many dressings are available in multi-packs and case quantities at reduced pricing. Submit a request for quote (on the product page), visit our Contract Sales page, or contact us at 910-408-1823 for custom quotes, volume discounts, or tailored procurement.
