Israeli Bandages Saving Lives

While everything else in medicine has advanced at light speed over the past few decades, bandages haven't. That's changing, thanks to a field dressing from an Israeli start-up named First Care Products. Its Emergency Care Bandage is already saving lives in Iraq and Afghanistan (see testimonials). Paramedics, law enforcement, and civilian adventurers headed for remote places will be next in line... and more lives will be saved.

Israeli Bandages Saving Lives"
Israel seems to do a disproportionate amount of medical advances for such a small country. I had a scoping done a few years back when was a little camera that you swallowed and it transmitted by RF to a receiver/recorder you wore. Invented in Israel, too.

Yes, I read about this a while ago. Brilliant, and very effective. Here are a couple of related developments: self-healing bandage and glycerin doubles healing speed, suppresses scarring.
(As to the glycerin, it has worked near miracles on some of my psoriasis patches. Just don't over-use in pure form, as it causes drying.)
Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:
*This* puts text in bold.
_This_ puts text in italics.
bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.
To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.
Finally, note that a constant onslaught of Trackback spams from auto-generated blogspot blogs has forced Winds to ban the blogspot.com domain from use in comments or trackbacks. If you host on blogspot, consider moving; otherwise, the complaints need to be directed at Google not us.
