NAR-4 Aid Kit

A Slim Medic Bag That Rides on Armor

NAR built the NAR-4 to give a medic a full load without bulk. The outer bag carries as a backpack with straps that stow away, or attaches to body armor with four rapid attachment straps. Inside, five removable pouches can be set up for the medic's own skills and mission.

• Front and side PALS/MOLLE-style webbing

Good to Know

The airway devices, needle decompression and IV supplies in this kit are for trained medical providers working within their own protocols. Every casualty treated from it still needs emergency medical care.
