Product Overview

The NAR Stump/Abdominal ETD is the largest-format Emergency Trauma Dressing in the NAR family, designed for the injury categories where conventional bandage coverage is inadequate. The 12 × 12 in. (144 square inch) sterile non-adherent pad is the defining feature — it provides complete coverage of standard traumatic amputation stumps, abdominal wound areas for evisceration management, and large burn wound surfaces that smaller ETD pads cannot cover in a single application.

The 6 in. elastic wrap with 70 in. of bandage length is sized to wrap large amputation stumps (femoral-level amputations produce stumps requiring substantial circumferential coverage) and to make multiple secure passes around the torso or large extremity sites. The durable securing device — no pressure bars, no hooks — follows the same ETD design philosophy of gross-motor applicability: a provider can correctly apply this dressing with gloves, one hand, under stress, without referencing previous training on a specific pressure bar threading technique.

For abdominal eviscerations: the non-adherent pad is placed over the eviscerated tissue without pressure, and the elastic wrap is used to gently secure the dressing in place without compressing the exposed organs. For amputation stumps: the pad is centered over the stump end, the elastic wrap is applied circumferentially with firm tension, and the securing device locks the dressing in place for transport. For large burn wounds: the non-adherent pad protects wound surface integrity during transport without adhering to the wound bed.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the clinical indication for the Stump/Abdominal ETD vs. the standard ETD 8x10?

The Stump/Abdominal ETD (MEDTAC0524) features a larger 12×12 in. pad (144 sq. in.) on a 6 in. elastic wrap with 70 in. length, designed for the largest wound presentations: traumatic amputation stumps (especially high-level amputations), abdominal eviscerations requiring full organ coverage without compression, and large burn wound surfaces. The ETD 8×10 (MEDTAC0549) has an 8×10 in. pad on a 4 in. wrap — better suited for large thoracic and extremity wounds. Choose the Stump/Abdominal ETD when pad coverage must span a 12×12 in. area, particularly for stump management and evisceration coverage.

How do I apply the Stump/Abdominal ETD to a traumatic amputation?

First, ensure a tourniquet is applied proximal to the amputation site and hemorrhage is controlled. Center the 12×12 in. non-adherent pad over the amputation stump end, covering the full wound surface. Begin wrapping the 6 in. elastic wrap circumferentially around the stump with firm tension, overlapping each pass by half. Use the Quick-Grip tabs to maintain wrap control if you need to re-grip. Secure with the durable securing device. Do not apply so much compression that it interferes with the tourniquet above. Document time of tourniquet application and keep the stump elevated during transport.

Can the Stump/Abdominal ETD be used without applying pressure (for evisceration management)?

Yes — this is a critical capability. For abdominal eviscerations, do not try to replace exposed organs into the abdominal cavity. Place the large non-adherent pad gently over the exposed tissue (without pressing down), and secure the elastic wrap around the torso loosely to hold the dressing in place — not to apply pressure. The 12×12 in. pad provides sufficient coverage to protect and contain eviscerated organs during transport. Rapid evacuation to surgical care is the definitive treatment; the dressing buys time while protecting the exposed tissue from further contamination and desiccation.

Is the Stump/Abdominal ETD appropriate for standard IFAK builds?

The Stump/Abdominal ETD packages to 5.25 in. × 6 in. × 1.5 in. and weighs 5 oz — it is one of the larger single items in the ETD family. Most standard IFAKs carry a smaller ETD (4 in. or 6 in.) as the primary bandage. The Stump/Abdominal ETD is best suited for medic bags, vehicle medical kits, forward surgical staging kits, and extended patrol kits where amputation and evisceration management are priority scenarios. Special Operations medics frequently carry this item for its specific large-wound applications.

How does the Stump/Abdominal ETD compare to the Israeli 8 inch Emergency Bandage for the same applications?

Both are designed for large wound coverage. The Stump/Abdominal ETD (12×12 in. pad, 6 in. wrap, no pressure bar) uses NAR's simple securing device and is optimized for stump management and evisceration coverage. The Israeli 8 in. Emergency Bandage (FCP-09, 12×12 in. pad, 8 in. elastic leader) uses PerSys Medical's pressure bar and Stop-N-Go release mechanism. Both have virtually identical pad coverage. The ETD is chosen for its simpler, pressure-bar-free application mechanism. The Israeli 8 in. is chosen by users who prefer the PerSys pressure bar system or who specifically need the pressure-bypass capability for eviscerations where no compression on the organs is critical.
