This does anyone know if the plastic part in the israeli bandage can cause pressure-damage to tissue? I have been taught not to use anything hard in bandage when I have to apply preassure to a wound. Soft stuff like socks, a rolled up T-shirt or similar would do. Any hard material would besides from pressing into the wound, probably cause ischemic(?) (deprivation of oxygen by lack of blood?) damage if left im place for some time. (sorry im Swedish, i dont know if thats the correct term). Does anyone have an opinion? I would especially like input from our docs and medics on this forum.
