PRODUCT INFORMATION
ETD® by North American Rescue · Large-Wound Pressure Dressing
Emergency Trauma Dressing (ETD®) — 8 × 10 in.
The ETD built for wounds a 4 in. or 6 in. pad cannot cover: an extra-large 8 × 10 in. sterile non-adherent pad sewn onto a 4 in. resilient elastic wrap that runs 70 in. — 14 in. longer than the standard ETD. Same Quick-Grip Roll Control, same durable securing device, no pressure bars or hooks. Flat-folded and vacuum-sealed, 4 oz.
8 × 10 in. sewn-in pad4 × 70 in. elastic wrapNSN 6510-01-654-6801Sterile · not made with natural rubber latex4 oz

Size the pad to the wound before the wound sizes it for you — one dressing that covers beats two that almost do.

The short answer
What it is
A sterile pressure dressing with an 8 × 10 in. non-adherent pad sewn onto a 4 in. × 70 in. elastic wrap. One dressing per vacuum-sealed package.
Use it for
Direct pressure over larger wounds, and holding packing in place over a wide wound field once the deep parts have been packed.
How it's used
Pad centered over the whole wound, wrap with a little stretch, secure the end — then check the circulation beyond the dressing.
Who carries it
Medics, vehicle and aid-bag kits, and casualty-collection caches that stock one large-wound dressing alongside the standard 4 in. and 6 in. ETDs.

10 things to know about the ETD 8 × 10 in.

What the bigger pad and longer wrap buy you, and where the large-wound dressing stops.

  1. 01

    An 8 × 10 in. pad on a 4 in. wrap

    The pad is sewn onto the wrap, 8 in. high by 10 in. wide — an extra-large sterile non-adherent pad for applying immediate direct pressure to larger areas.3 The 4 in. ETD's pad is 6 × 4 in.4

  2. 02

    A longer wrap — 70 in.

    The elastic runs 70 in., against 56 in. on the standard 4 in. and 6 in. ETDs.3,4 Length matters when a big pad has to be anchored around a big limb: in a tourniquet-conversion simulation, a short wrap was swapped for longer ones because the longer wraps covered limbs better.13

  3. 03

    Flat-folded, 1 in. deep

    It packs to 4.125 × 7 × 1 in. and weighs 4 oz — the same weight as a rolled 6 in. ETD.3,4 The dressing itself is labeled NAR Compression ETD 8″×10″ FLAT.8

  4. 04

    The same ETD design

    A durable securing device, Quick-Grip Roll Control tabs that keep the wrap from unrolling during application, and no pressure bars or hooks — engineered from more than 63 after-action reviews of real-world battle-dressing applications.3

  5. 05

    NSN 6510-01-654-6801

    DLA describes the item as a universal compression dressing for severe trauma: sterile, applicable with one hand, an 8 × 10 in. non-adherent pad on a 4 × 70 in. elastic roll-control wrap, single wrapped and vacuum sealed. NAR item 30-0165 is one of the part numbers listed under that NSN; unit of issue is each.6

  6. 06

    Class I, sterile, latex-free

    FDA lists it as an elastic bandage (product code FQM, 21 CFR 880.5075): Class I, exempt from 510(k). It is sterile, single use and labeled as not made with natural rubber latex, with a lot number and an expiration date on the label.5

  7. 07

    One product, one job

    A complete bleeding kit carries four products for four jobs: a tourniquet, packing gauze, a pressure dressing and a chest seal. A big pad does not change that. A limb a tourniquet can control gets a tourniquet; a deep or junctional wound is packed first; the dressing goes over the top.1 In 50 mass-casualty patients in Afghanistan, most injured by explosives, tourniquets and pressure dressings were the most common prehospital interventions.11

  8. 08

    On the torso, other rules apply

    An open or sucking chest wound gets a vented chest seal — or a non-vented seal if no vented seal is available — not a gauze pad. The abdomen is never packed, and exposed bowel is covered with a moist sterile dressing or a water-impermeable covering, never forced back in.1

  9. 09

    Firm pressure — not a tourniquet

    NAR's direction: firm pressure, but never so tight it creates a tourniquet effect.10 Too tight, and the wrap closes the veins while the artery keeps pumping in — a venous tourniquet that can end in compartment syndrome.9 In 116 measured applications by EMS providers, pressures ran from 50 to 412 mmHg and did not match how tight providers thought they were,12 and in cadaver legs high-stretch wraps raised compartment pressure the most.14

  10. 10

    More than a bandage

    Like every ETD, it can sling and swathe an arm, fasten a splint to a limb, or do any other job that needs an elastic wrap.3

How to apply the ETD 8 × 10 in.

In doctrinal order — the tourniquet and packing decisions come first, the dressing last.

  1. 1
    Tourniquet first on a limb. Life-threatening limb bleeding a tourniquet can control gets a tourniquet. Hasty: high and tight over clothing, under threat or when you cannot see the source. Deliberate: on bare skin 2–3 in. above the wound once it is exposed. Never across a joint.1
  2. 2
    Pack what is deep. Deep wounds and junctional wounds — groin, armpit, neck — are packed first: the power ball goes in first, directly on the bleeding vessel, and every corner is packed tight. Never pack the chest or abdomen. The neck can be packed with care without compressing the airway; the lower neck above the collarbone is acceptable.
  3. 3
    Hold pressure. Hemostatic gauze: at least 3 minutes, or the time on its label.1 Plain gauze: at least 10 minutes. In every case, until the bleeding stops — best practice is to keep holding until someone relieves you.
  4. 4
    Open and center. Tear the package at a red notch and unfold the dressing. The printed tag reads OTHER SIDE TOWARD WOUND; center the 8 × 10 in. pad so it covers the whole wound field.3,8
  5. 5
    Wrap with a little stretch. Pull a little stretch on each pass and wrap until the pad is held down edge to edge; the Quick-Grip tabs keep the roll from unrolling as you go.3,10
  6. 6
    Secure the end. Fasten the end with the securing device's hook-and-loop, or tuck it under the last wrap so it sits tight.10
  7. 7
    Check beyond the dressing. Color, warmth, sensation and pulse below the wrap, compared with the other limb. If the skin turns dusky, capillary refill slows, pain climbs or the pulse fades, take the dressing down and reapply it with less force — then keep reassessing.9
  8. 8
    If blood comes through. On a superficial wound, or a wound under the dressing that is not deep enough to pack, leave the dressing in place and add gauze and pressure on top. That rule does not cover a packed wound: if a packed wound keeps bleeding, remove the packing and repack — find the source, power ball first, every corner tight.1
Free your hands — with whatever you have. A pressure dressing over the packing frees you for the next casualty or the phone. Short of large dressings? An elastic wrap such as READY WRAP™ or an ACE-type bandage over gauze does the same job, and a bandana or a strip of cloth tied over the packing beats holding it with a hand you need elsewhere. Train on a trainer, not on a live sterile dressing.5

Where it fits

Use it for
  • Direct pressure over wounds too large for a 4 in. or 6 in. pad3
  • Holding packing in place across a wide wound field once the deep parts are packed
  • A pressure dressing after a trained provider converts a limb tourniquet1
  • Slinging and swathing an arm, or fastening a splint3
Not for
  • Life-threatening limb bleeding a tourniquet can control — tourniquet first1
  • An open or sucking chest wound — a vented chest seal, or a non-vented seal if no vented seal is available1
  • Packing into the chest or abdomen — never
  • Wrapping tight around the neck — the airway comes first
  • Wounds a 12 × 12 in. pad would cover better — the Abdominal/Stump ETD is that size7

The evidence

No peer-reviewed study of the ETD itself is indexed in PubMed. The studies below tested pressure dressings as a class, and the TCCC documents set the role.

Study Evidence type What was studied What it found
TCCC Guidelines, 1 May 2026 Expert review · guideline Massive hemorrhage, tourniquet conversion, open chest wounds, abdominal evisceration Tourniquet for limb bleeding it can control; hemostatic dressings ≥3 min of pressure; pressure dressings after tourniquet conversion; vented chest seal for an open chest wound; moist sterile or water-impermeable covering for exposed bowel
Evidence-Based Standard Devices & Adjuncts, 15 December 2021 Expert review · device list Devices recommended for combat casualty care Limb tourniquets and hemostatic dressings and devices are named; there is no pressure-dressing category
Schauer et al., Prehosp Disaster Med 2017 Human · combat registry 50 mass-casualty patients, DoD Trauma Registry and Prehospital Trauma Registry, Afghanistan; explosives the most common cause Tourniquets and pressure dressings were the most common prehospital interventions; 97% of the 36 with follow-up survived to discharge
Brauckmann et al., Eur J Trauma Emerg Surg 2026 Human volunteer · simulation 124 EMS providers applying pressure dressings to one volunteer's forearm over calibrated sensors; 116 analyzed; ETD not among the materials Peak pressure 169 ± 84 mmHg (range 50–412); self-assessed tightness did not match measured pressure
Kragh et al., J Spec Oper Med 2021 Manikin · simulation 100 simulated tourniquet applications and conversions by one operator, including conversion to a pressure dressing Conversion to a pressure dressing took longer than conversion to a tourniquet; a short wrap was swapped for longer ones to cover limbs better
Kwok et al., Mil Med 2026 Cadaver · synthetic model Low-, moderate- and high-stretch circumferential dressings on a pressurized manikin arm and cadaver legs High-stretch dressings raised compartment pressure the most (cadaver anterior compartment +10.7 vs +3.0 mmHg for low-stretch)

Strongest to weakest: human registry data, then human-volunteer measurements, then manikin and cadaver work. The registry counts how often pressure dressings were used, not how well any one brand performed.

Questions buyers ask

▾Is the ETD 8 × 10 in. evidence-based standard?

No. The Evidence-Based Standard Devices & Adjuncts list names limb tourniquets and hemostatic dressings and devices; it has no pressure-dressing category, so no pressure bandage is on it.2 Absence from the list does not by itself mean a product was tested and failed. The TCCC Guidelines use pressure dressings by role — for example, when a tourniquet is converted.1

▾When do I choose it over a 4 in. or 6 in. ETD?

When the wound is wider than a 6 × 4 in. or 6 × 6 in. pad. The 8 × 10 in. pad covers 80 sq in. in one pass, and the 70 in. wrap gives the extra turns to hold it.3,4 Most kits that carry it carry it alongside the standard sizes, not instead of them.

▾8 × 10 in. or Abdominal/Stump?

The Abdominal/Stump ETD is the larger one: a 12 × 12 in. pad on a 6 × 70 in. wrap, 5 oz, which NAR describes for abdominal eviscerations, traumatic amputations, burns and large pattern wounds. The 8 × 10 in. sits between it and the standard ETDs, on a 4 in. wrap at 4 oz.3,7

▾Does it have an NSN?

Yes: 6510-01-654-6801. DLA lists NAR item 30-0165 among the part numbers under that NSN, issued one each.6

▾Can it go over packed gauze?

Yes. Pack the deep parts of the wound, hold pressure (at least 3 minutes for a hemostatic, at least 10 for plain gauze, and until the bleeding stops), then cover the whole field with the pad and wrap.1

▾Can I use it on a chest wound?

Not to seal it. An open or sucking chest wound gets a vented chest seal — or a non-vented seal if no vented seal is available — and the casualty is watched for a developing tension pneumothorax.1

▾How tight should it be?

Firm, with a little stretch on each pass — but never tight enough to act as a tourniquet.10 Check color, warmth, sensation and pulse beyond the wrap; if circulation suffers, NAR's instruction is to take it down and reapply it with less force.9

▾What if blood soaks through?

If the wound is superficial, or not deep enough to pack, leave the dressing on and add gauze and pressure on top. If the wound was packed and is still bleeding, adding layers will not fix it: remove the packing and repack it to the source.1

▾Does it expire?

Yes — the label carries a lot number and an expiration date,5 and the DLA record carries a 60-month shelf-life code.6 Replace an expired dressing or one whose package is torn or damaged.
