...I think you're overlooking the reason pressure bandages are used. It because most neurotoxic species are Elapids, i.e., short fangs and the venom travels through the lymphatic system. I decent sized canebrake is still going to deliver a deep injection, which a pressure bandage won't be effective against.

Pressure bandages are effective because of the bite apparatus, NOT because of the venom characteristics.
