A quick-access hemorrhage kit covers the first few minutes. A remote rescue, an extended CASEVAC, or a multi-casualty event over open water demands far more — airway, chest, IV access, pelvic stabilization, spinal precaution, and burn care, all carried in one platform that survives the environment.
What carries comprehensive trauma capability into an austere maritime rescue?
The NAR-5 Aid Kit occupies the top tier of individual/buddy-team trauma bags. Designed to meet the requirements of U.S. Navy Search and Rescue Swimmers — who treat critically injured personnel in open-water, maritime, and austere environments — it delivers multi-system trauma management in a 16 lb 10 oz package with a low-profile, backpack-compatible form. Six hook-and-loop internal pouches organize supplies by category: four for hemorrhage control (tourniquets, hemostatic gauze, chest seals, ETDs) and two larger for airway and IV products. The inclusion of 1000cc IV solution, a SAM® Pelvic Sling, two cervical collars, a sterile burn sheet, and a Cyclone® BVM reflects its design for extended-care scenarios — a comprehensive treatment platform rather than a quick-access hemorrhage kit. Anti-pilferage seal capability supports pre-deployment seal-and-inspect accountability.
Provider scope: This kit contains advanced components — ARS® needle decompression, nasopharyngeal airways, a bag-valve mask, and IV solution — intended for use by trained medical personnel operating within their scope of practice and local protocols. Needle decompression and IV therapy are advanced interventions; this listing describes kit contents and is not a substitute for accredited training.
