The NAR Emergency Trauma Dressing 6″ Flat (SKU 808899) uses a unique flat-folded, vacuum-sealed configuration specifically designed to reduce cube space and footprint in tactical kits, IFAK pouches, and vehicle first aid bags. Unlike traditional rolled trauma bandages, this flat design measures only 6" x 3.5" x 0.875" when packaged, making it ideal for law enforcement duty belts, plate carrier admin pouches, and compact go-bags where space is at a premium. The flat profile also prevents the "rolling away" problem common with cylindrical bandages during high-stress applications in the field.

Yes, the NAR Emergency Trauma Dressing is a multi-functional trauma bandage that extends to 70 inches when unrolled. Beyond its primary use as a pressure dressing for hemorrhage control, the 6-inch-wide elastic wrap can effectively sling and swath an injured arm, secure SAM splints or improvised splints to extremities, or function as a general-purpose elastic wrap for field expedient medical care. This versatility makes it a force multiplier in austere environments where carrying multiple specialized items isn't practical.

The NAR ETD features an innovative Quick-Grip Roll Control system that eliminates the pressure bars and metal hooks found on traditional Israeli-style bandages. This design choice specifically reduces the need for fine motor skills during application—critical when treating casualties under combat stress, in cold weather with gloves, or during survival scenarios when dexterity is compromised. The durable securing device maintains constant pressure without the risk of hook failure or pressure bar displacement that can occur with older bandage designs.

Yes, the NAR Emergency Trauma Dressing 6″ Flat is manufactured in the United States and is fully Berry Amendment compliant, meeting the requirements for federal government and Department of Defense procurement. This makes it suitable for military unit aid bags, law enforcement agency contracts, federal EMS services, and any organization requiring domestically-sourced medical supplies. The Berry compliance ensures the entire supply chain—from textile materials to final assembly—meets strict U.S. manufacturing standards.

Absolutely. The flat-folded design of the NAR ETD 6″ (dimensions: 6" L x 3.5" W x 0.875" D, 4 oz) is specifically engineered for low-profile carry. It fits easily in MOLLE-compatible IFAK pouches, police duty belt trauma kits, vehicle glove boxes, motorcycle saddlebags, and concealed carry ankle medical kits. The reduced diameter compared to rolled bandages means you can carry more life-saving equipment in the same footprint—many users pair it with a CAT tourniquet and chest seals in a single compact pouch.
