PerSys Medical Acquires Majority Share In First Care Products Ltd.

PerSys Medical of Houston, Texas, the exclusive North American distributor of The Emergency Bandage® (A.K.A. The Israeli Bandage®) http://youtu.be/S2_EU1T-o-g, announced today the completion of the merger and acquisition of the product’s manufacturer, First Care Products Ltd.

PerSys Medical, now the majority shareholder, introduced The Israeli Bandage® to the North American market where it became the gold standard for military personnel as well as first responders. NATO and U.S. military special operation units first used the bandage during the war in Bosnia, and in recent years it has improved the treatment of casualties and saved countless lives in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.

The bandage was used in treating Congresswoman Gabriel Giffords’ wounds during the shooting in Tucson, Arizona in January 2011. The Pima County Sheriff’s Office was issued IFAKs (Individual first aid kits) containing the bandages several months prior to the shooting.
