Frequently Asked Questions
How does the NAR ETD differ from a standard Israeli bandage?
While both are pressure bandages, the NAR ETD™ is engineered with a Quick-Grip Roll Control system that gives the applicator better command of the wrap during high-stress situations, reducing the chance of losing control of the roll mid-application. The integrated securing device also eliminates the need for clips or improvised fastening, making it faster to deploy with one hand or while wearing gloves.
Can the 4-inch ETD be used on both large and small wound sites?
Yes. The 4-inch pad size is versatile enough to cover moderate to large lacerations, puncture wounds, and exit wounds on extremities or the torso. For smaller wounds on extremities, the ETD can be wrapped tightly to concentrate pressure, while its elastic wrap allows it to conform to irregular body contours for a secure seal on larger injury sites.
Does the ETD need to be replaced after its expiration date, and how should it be stored?
Yes — as a sterile medical product, the NAR ETD™ should be replaced before its printed expiration date to ensure the sterility of the non-adherent pad. Store it in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and extreme heat. Avoid compressing the packaging for extended periods, which can compromise the integrity of the seal. Regularly inspect your IFAK or trauma kit to confirm all items remain within their usable date range.
