:warning: **WARNING : _This bandage was designed based on existing israeli bandages, however it wasn't certified as a medical device and should thus be used based on your own jugment._** :warning:

This repo is a simple proposition of a 3D-printed israeli bandage (or "_lever_"), that is made to be clipped on any normal compression bandage (_preferably hemostatic_) right at the time of application.

There is a narrow clip at the bottom of the passage of the lever, which you can use to secure it after doing a single turn around the limb of the victim, so the bandage you are using can then be used as any bought israeli bandage.

## 2 - 3D printing

![](./pictures/israeli_bandage_sliced_picture.png)

You can print this israeli bandage lever from the [3Dfiles/israeli_bandage.stl](./3Dfiles/) file, with the "lever" part pointing up so that you don't need to use any support material.

Using default parameter the lever is quite strong and thus resilient to different printing parameters and materials. We would recommand to use a strong material like PETG rather than PLA, and not using too low of an infill ratio (> 20%).

## 3 - Parameters

If you want to changes the parameters of this design, you can edit the _Freecad_ file [3Dfiles/israeli_bandage_v3.FCStd](./3Dfiles/), which is fully parametric, with parameters present in the **Spreadsheet**.
