I am a combat medic in the US Army The Isreali trauma dressing is more of a nickname. its actual name is ETB(Emergency Trauma Bandage) We use them, they are great for the pressure on the arterial bleeds, but the plastic used to secure and create the pressure of the dressing can break sometimes. Therefore we will use a tournakit to control the bleeding first then we will use the ETB after the wound is dressed and then we will take a tournakit off.
