A bloodstopper-dressing is essentially the same thing as the Israeli Dressing (ETD).

The only difference is that the ETD has a pressure-bar which, you guessed it, applies pressure to the wound:




A bloodstopper dressing does the same thing, but it uses a gauze roll for applying pressure:




That is the greatest difference. The ETD also has a closure-bar and uses an ACE bandage instead of a normal gauze roll as with the bloodstopper-dressing.


IMHO: you're better of using a roll of kerlix and a ACE bandage, but if you really want to, I would prefer the Israeli-bandage.
