Product Review
This is a new version of the original NAR 4" ETD, configured in a flatter package to make it more suitable for certain kit and carry options.
The North American Rescue Emergency Trauma Dressing (ETD) 4 inch is a resilient elastic wrap equipped with a sterile non-adherent pad. A durable securing device and innovative Quick-GripTM Roll Control configuration allow a rapid, controlled, and extremely effective application process in the most demanding of conditions. The NAR ETD 4" can also be used to engineer a sling and swath, to secure splints to an extremity or to perform in any other function requiring an elastic wrap. Engineered using data from over 63 After Action Reviews of real-world battle dressing applications.
Specifications
Research indicated several integral criteria:
* Simple application that is easy to remember under combat/survival stress
* Omission of pressure bars and hooks to moderate the use of fine motor skills
* Durable securing device
* Quick-Grip Roll Control tabs to prevent the bandage from unrolling during application
* Cost effective
The resulting trauma dressing design combines ease of use, consistent performance and multi-functional capabilities that meet or exceed user expectations.
NAR ETD bandages are also available widths of 6" and Abdominal/Stump (with 12" x 12" pad)
