Why we like these:
It's a bandage, but FLATTENED. Great for saving space in a more compact or belt mounted Individual First Aid Kit (IFAK).
All of our medical equipment comes direct from North American Rescue, and you can be confident that what you purchase here is 100% authentic.
Also, we strongly suggest taking a "Stop the Bleed" class. Visit www.stopthebleed.org to learn more and find a class near you.
Official Description From North American Rescue:
The Flat Emergency Trauma Dressing (ETD™) series of bandages provide an effective, constant pressure bandage used for the treatment of wounds. The Flat ETD™ is packaged in a low cube space, flat folded configuration to reduce its diameter and footprint in kits. It consists of a resilient elastic wrap equipped with a sterile non-adherent pad, durable securing device and innovative Quick-Grip™ Roll Control configuration. This combination facilitates a rapid, controlled, and extremely effective application process in the most demanding conditions. The ETD™ can also be used to sling and swath an arm, to secure splints to an extremity or to perform in any other function requiring an elastic wrap.
Special Features:
- Sterile bandage suitable for applying immediate direct pressure
- Flat folded, vacuum configuration reduces cube space and footprint in your kit
- Multi-functional, all-in-one design
- 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
