For example: A wound to your hand could be controlled by applying pressure on the artery feeding the wound. The brachial artery on the inside of your elbow, for example. You can find the pulse there now if you feel for it. It is at the antecubital fossa, you know, where they take blood.

A tourniquet is a compressing device (bandage), used to control venous and arterial circulation to an extremity for a period of time. The tourniquet is usually applied when the patient is in a life-threatening state as a result of continuous bleeding.

Whether stopping a bleed, applying a make-shift tourniquet, or splinting an extremity, the Israeli bandage has you covered.
