Introduction. Blood loss is the major cause of death during the war. However, it can be prevented by prompt medical interventions. Objectives: To design, build up and evaluate an elastic band utilizable by an unaided injured combatant. Material and Methods. Sample bands made up of silicon underwent laboratorial and clinical evaluation. For laboratorial evaluation, chemical and physical examinations were performed. For clinical evaluation, 20 specialists and 20 patients applied the elastic bands experimentally. Their opinions were collected using a questionnaire. Results and conclusion. The results revealed that the quality of elastic bands in the points of size, wound covering and hemostasis potentials, being washable, sterility, and usability by one hand was acceptable.
