BurnTec MINOR Burn Dressing Kit

What dressings are included in the BurnTec® MINOR Burn Dressing Kit?

The BurnTec® MINOR Burn Dressing Kit (NAR Item #80-0415, NSN 6510-01-644-5427) contains five dressings in three sizes within a compact carrying case: 2× BurnTec® Burn Dressing (4"×4") for small burns and hands, 2× BurnTec® Burn Dressing (4"×16") for forearm, foot, and elongated burn coverage, and 1× BurnTec® Burn Dressing (8.5"×11") for large-area burns on the torso, thigh, or upper back. No facial burn masks are included in the MINOR kit.

How does the MINOR Kit differ from the full BurnTec® Burn Dressing Kit?

The MINOR Kit provides 5 dressings in 3 sizes (weight: 3.1 lbs, dimensions: 14"×8.5"×2.5") compared to the full BurnTec® Burn Dressing Kit which contains 11 dressings in 9 sizes plus 2 face masks (weight: 6 lbs 4 oz, dimensions: 12"×15.5"×3.5"). The MINOR Kit does not include facial burn dressings. It is best suited for EMS jump bags, vehicle kits, moderate burn risk workplaces, and individual responder use. The full kit is preferred for fire apparatus, hospital emergency departments, and high burn risk environments.

Does the BurnTec® MINOR Burn Dressing Kit have a military NSN?

Yes. The BurnTec® MINOR Burn Dressing Kit carries NSN 6510-01-644-5427, confirming its inclusion in the U.S. military supply system and availability for DoD procurement. The NAR item number 80-0415 is used for catalog and inventory tracking. Both the military and civilian versions use the same clinically validated BurnTec® hydrogel dressings, which are FDA cleared and CE marked.

Are the dressings in the MINOR Kit the same as individual BurnTec® dressings?

Yes. The dressings in the MINOR Kit are identical to individually sold BurnTec® hydrogel dressings — the same stable-sheeting polymer matrix of polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyethylene glycol, and agar cross-linked by electron beam, providing up to 24 hours of cooling relief, impermeable bacterial protection, biocompatibility, and non-adherent properties. They carry the same FDA clearance and CE marking as individual BurnTec® dressing SKUs.

Is the BurnTec® MINOR Kit appropriate for a workplace first aid station?

Yes. The MINOR Kit's lightweight (3.1 lbs) and compact profile (14"×8.5"×2.5") make it well suited for workplace first aid stations where burns are a plausible risk — industrial, food service, laboratory, or construction environments. The five-dressing, three-size configuration covers the most common burn presentation sizes without the expense and bulk of the full 11-dressing kit. The organized carrying case ensures rapid identification and deployment during a burn emergency.
