Emergency Trauma Dressing (SKU MEDTAC0542) is a compact, ultra-lightweight pressure bandage from North American Rescue designed for extremity wounds in space-constrained kit configurations. Featuring a hook-and-loop securing device (no pressure bars or hooks), a non-adherent wound pad, and Quick-Grip Roll Control in a minimal footprint, it is the go-to bandage for slim EDC trauma kits, ankle kits, and patrol configurations where every ounce and inch matters.

Product Overview
The Mini Responder ETD is the lightest, most compact trauma bandage in the NAR ETD family. At just 2.0 oz in a flat package measuring L 4.25 in. × W 2.75 in. × D 0.875 in., it fits in configurations where even the standard ETD (2.6 oz) would add meaningful bulk: ankle medical holsters, single-item soft-side EDC pouches, jacket pockets, and minimal-profile IFAK configurations designed for plainclothes operations. Despite its smaller footprint, it maintains a 4 in. × 6 in. sterile non-adherent wound pad — sufficient coverage for the majority of extremity wounds.
The securing mechanism uses a hook-and-loop (Velcro-style) closure rather than a locking pressure device, which makes it the simplest bandage in the ETD family to apply and secure. Application requires no technique beyond wrapping and pressing the closure — accessible to users with minimal medical training, including lay responders in Stop the Bleed scenarios. Quick-Grip Roll Control tabs prevent the bandage from unrolling if dropped, maintaining the ETD's characteristic field reliability.
The Mini Responder is also an excellent backup bandage for kits that carry a standard ETD as a primary, and a cost-effective way to include a legitimate trauma bandage in entry-level kits, patrol bags, vehicle kits, and public-access bleeding control stations. Its reduced weight and cube are achieved through a shorter bandage wrap (60 in. vs. 56 in. standard ETD) and a smaller pad, which are appropriate trade-offs for its intended use case on extremity wounds.
