Product Overview

The ETD 8" × 10" addresses wound presentations that exceed the coverage capacity of standard ETDs. While the 4 in. ETD (with its pad approximately 4 in. × 5 in.) is well-matched to extremity wounds, and the 6 in. ETD handles larger extremity and shoulder injuries, the 8 × 10 in. pad is designed for wounds that present across a larger surface area — blast pattern wounds, large-caliber exit wounds, partial amputations with significant tissue loss, burn wounds on the trunk, and thoracic injuries where multi-wound coverage from a single dressing is preferable.

The 8 × 10 in. non-adherent sterile wound pad is sewn directly onto the 4 in. elastic wrap, maintaining the ETD's characteristic one-piece design that eliminates loose components. The 70 in. elastic wrap (14 inches longer than the standard 4 in. ETD) provides extra bandage length for secure circumferential wrapping of large wound areas. The Quick-Grip Roll Control tabs and simple securing device — with no pressure bars or hooks — maintain the ETD's hallmark ease of application under stress.

The non-adherent wound pad protects the wound surface while preventing adhesion to wound tissue — a critical feature for large open wounds that will require surgical management at a higher care facility. The vacuum-sealed packaging with Red-Tip Technology tear notches enables rapid one-handed access, consistent with the rest of the ETD product family. At 4 oz in a L 4.125 in. × W 7 in. × D 1 in. package, the ETD 8×10 is a dedicated large-wound item for medic bags and vehicle trauma kits.
