For small kits I stock them with the 4 inch. For everything else I have the 4 inch and the 6 inch.
In the past I have bought them from Amazon and eBay. |

if volume is not a problem in your kit, OLAES bandage comes with an occlusive sheet to help seal a chest wound, but the vacuum packaging produces a non symmetrical package

I have a mix of 4s and 6s, plus a thoracic bandage in each of my kits. The 4s are nice for smaller kits.

I prefer the Olaes bandages for their multi function capability.
I've used Chinook Medical for years as their prices are decent. Chinook Medical |

Chinook Medical I work EMS amd we carry OLAES... I am not a fan it's too big...to bulky and it is lime they tried to make it the jack of all trades bandage and it isn't great at any of them. I like the NAR ETD no gimmicks. |

In my larger kits I use the 6” Izzy bandages with the second ( slidable ) pad. That last you get entry and exit wounds with one Babbage. OR take the mobile pad off and tape it or. Vet wrap/ kling gauze it to a completely separate wound.the Twin pad ones are only marginally thicker than the single pad bandages.
In my smaller kits I use the smaller H & H compact bandage. They are the ne plus ultra of compact compression bandages. |

Z-Gauze and Ace wraps packs smaller, is more versatile, and does the same job.

A flat packed 4” olaes is what you seek.

Oales. If you have to choose...4inch. You should probably have one of each in your carry around kit.

I've been carrying Israelis, NARs, and some other compression bandages over the years and have luckily never had a need to use them. I'm thinking there was never a need to upgrade from z-gauze and an Ace for my use case. |

I keep a 6" in each vehicle and my EDC bag. For my smaller chest rig and belt setup I pack 4".
Actually, just ordered some new ones on ebay yesterday! |

I prefer the Israeli 6” it’s reasonably versatile and you can make it work in a lot of scenarios. I also do like the direct pressure application feature as that’s consistent with literally any medical training on hemorrhage control. That and I’m not a big fan of hauling around a tonne of different sizes. Plus, better to have extra than not enough.
Some NAR s-fold gauze, hemostatic bandage and a 6” Israeli bandage can stabilize a lot of badness. Naturally have enough tourniquets. Also this is for an IFAK of fix what’s probably going to kill you in the next 5 minutes, not a comprehensive treatment kit. Lastly accept that there are some injuries that nothing short of a surgeon is going to be able to stabilize or fix. You catch a round through your iliac and no amount of dressings or tourniquets are going to fix that. |

I like the Israeli T3's. 4" size, but expandable pad and gauze for packing all in one.
