PRODUCT INFORMATION

North American Rescue — Pressure Bandage

Mini Responder 4″ Emergency Trauma Dressing

The lightest, most compact bandage in the ETD family — 2.0 oz, flat-packed, hook-and-loop simple. For EDC, ankle kits, and slim patrol carry.

2.0 oz4″ × 6″ pad60″ wrapHook-and-loop

A standard ETD is already compact, but slim EDC pouches, ankle holsters, and plainclothes carry count every ounce and every fraction of an inch. Leaving out a real trauma bandage to save space is the wrong trade.

How do you keep a legitimate trauma bandage in a kit with no room?

The Mini Responder is the lightest trauma bandage NAR makes — 2.0 oz in a flat 4.25″ × 2.75″ × 0.875″ package. It keeps a 4″ × 6″ sterile non-adherent pad (enough for most extremity wounds) and uses a hook-and-loop closure that is the simplest in the ETD family to apply: wrap and press, no locking device, no technique. Quick-Grip Roll Control keeps it from unrolling if dropped.

Minimal Footprint, Real Capability

2.0 oz, Flat-Packed

Fits ankle holsters, soft-side EDC pouches, jacket pockets, and plainclothes IFAKs where a standard ETD adds bulk.

Hook-and-Loop Closure

The simplest securing in the ETD family — wrap and press. No locking pressure device, no threading.

4″ × 6″ Non-Adherent Pad

Sufficient coverage for the majority of extremity wounds despite the compact format.

Quick-Grip Roll Control

Tabs prevent unrolling if dropped — field reliability in a mini footprint.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What makes the Mini Responder ETD different from the standard NAR ETD?

The Mini Responder ETD is lighter (2.0 oz vs. 2.6 oz), thinner, and uses a hook-and-loop closure rather than the standard ETD's locking securing device. The wound pad is 4×6 in. (vs. approximately 4×5 in. on the standard ETD), and the elastic wrap is 60 in. long. Both products are sterile, latex-free, and vacuum-sealed with no pressure bars or hooks. The Mini Responder's flat 0.875 in. package depth and lower weight make it the preferred choice for space-constrained kit configurations like ankle holsters, EDC pouches, and slim plate carrier IFAKs.

Is the Mini Responder ETD suitable as the only bandage in an IFAK?

For a minimal EDC kit or a trauma kit specifically designed for extremity wounds, yes — the Mini Responder ETD provides adequate wound coverage and pressure for most civilian bleeding emergencies. However, for a military-grade IFAK intended to handle the full spectrum of combat injuries including large torso wounds, it is best used as a complement to a full-size ETD or Israeli bandage rather than as the sole pressure dressing. Many kit builders include the Mini Responder as a backup or secondary bandage alongside a primary standard ETD or OLAES.

How do I apply the Mini Responder ETD?

Open the vacuum-sealed package using the tear notches. Center the non-adherent wound pad directly over the wound. Begin wrapping the elastic band circumferentially around the limb or wound area with firm tension — enough to apply sustained pressure without cutting off circulation. After 2–3 wrapping passes, secure the end of the bandage with the hook-and-loop closure, pressing firmly to lock. The Quick-Grip Roll Control tabs will prevent the bandage from unrolling if you need to re-grip during application. No threading or special technique is required.

Can the Mini Responder ETD be used by untrained responders?

Yes. The hook-and-loop securing mechanism requires no training or technique beyond wrapping and pressing — it is the simplest secure mechanism among NAR's pressure bandages. This makes the Mini Responder ETD particularly well-suited for public-access bleeding control kits, community first aid stations, and kits intended for family members or non-medical personnel who may need to use the bandage without prior training. Basic Stop the Bleed training is still recommended for all kit users, but the device itself is designed for intuitive use.

What is the weight and packaged size of the Mini Responder ETD?

The Mini Responder ETD weighs 2.0 oz (57 g) and packages to L 4.25 in. × W 2.75 in. × D 0.875 in. in its vacuum-sealed flat pack. This is 0.6 oz lighter than the standard 4 in. ETD and fits in the same flat-profile pouches. The combination of low weight and minimal depth makes it the lightest full-function trauma dressing available from NAR. SKU is MEDTAC0542.
