What fits inside the NAR EDC Wallet?
The NAR EDC Wallet is designed to hold a HyFin® Vent Compact Chest Seal Twin Pack, one hemostatic gauze (NAR Wound Packing Gauze or Combat Gauze® LE), a 4-inch flat elastic wrap, and a pair of nitrile gloves. The internal elastic loop system is customizable, allowing users to arrange or swap contents. The wallet-only version ships empty for users who want to select their own contents.
Does the EDC Wallet include a tourniquet?
No. The NAR EDC Wallet is not designed to hold a standard C-A-T® or SAM XT tourniquet — it is optimized for pocket-sized chest seal and gauze access. For ankle-mounted tourniquet carry, the NAR EDC Ankle Trauma Holster (30-0177T) is the appropriate companion product. Together, the wallet and ankle holster provide a complete concealed EDC trauma kit covering both extremity hemorrhage and penetrating chest injuries.
How thick is the EDC Wallet when filled with medical contents?
When filled with the standard kit contents (chest seal twin pack, gauze, elastic wrap, and gloves), the closed EDC Wallet measures 6.25 in. × 4.0 in. × 1.75 in. and weighs 3.2 oz. This is approximately the depth of a thick wallet — narrow enough to fit in a cargo pants pocket without significant bulk. The wallet-only version (no contents) is just 0.35 inches thick.
Is the EDC Wallet CoTCCC-relevant?
The EDC Wallet itself is a carrier — not a medical device. However, the combat gauze variant of the pre-filled kit includes Combat Gauze® LE, which contains CoTCCC-recommended kaolin-impregnated hemostatic dressing. The HyFin® Vent Compact Chest Seal included in kit configurations is also a product from North American Rescue, which manufactures devices aligned with TCCC guidelines. The wallet provides a practical carry system for CoTCCC-recommended supplies.
What colors is the EDC Wallet available in?
The NAR EDC Wallet is available in three colors: Black, Olive Drab, and Coyote Tan. All three use the same Laser Cut Laminate 500D nylon construction. The color choice allows users to select based on their operational environment — black for plainclothes or urban use, OD or coyote for military and tactical settings.
What is the EDC Wallet — is it a pouch or a complete kit?
The NAR Every Day Carry Wallet is a purpose-designed carry pouch — not a preloaded medical kit. It is sized to accept specific NAR trauma supplies (tourniquet, chest seal, etc.) in a wallet form factor. For a preloaded option, the EDC Wallet Kit includes both the pouch and supplies.
Does the EDC Wallet include a C-A-T® tourniquet?
The EDC Wallet (pouch only) does not include medical supplies — it is the carrier. The EDC Wallet Kit is the preloaded version that includes a C-A-T® tourniquet and additional trauma supplies. Verify the listing description to confirm whether you are purchasing the pouch alone or the complete kit.
What are the dimensions of the EDC Wallet for fit planning?
The EDC Wallet is designed to approximate standard wallet dimensions for pocket carry. Exact dimensions are published in the North American Rescue product specification. It is designed to accept specific NAR flat-pack products — refer to product documentation for compatible load configurations.
Is the EDC Wallet suitable for use by non-medical personnel?
Yes. The EDC Wallet is designed for civilian, off-duty, and non-medical carry. The trauma supplies it is intended to carry (tourniquet, chest seal, compressed gauze) are suitable for any trained individual. Stop the Bleed certification provides sufficient training for effective deployment of these items.
Can the EDC Wallet be used as an actual wallet (cards, cash)?
The EDC Wallet's primary purpose is trauma kit carry. It includes compartment space sized for trauma supplies; any remaining space can accommodate cards or cash depending on the specific configuration loaded. For a dual-function carry, the wallet form factor allows discrete trauma carry alongside personal items in the same pocket.
