The physiological and psychological demand placed on combatant and rescue personnel is typically unappreciated. Often, simple tasks can become both difficult and, in some instances, impossible to perform under the stressful conditions of the prehospital environment. The body's inherent reactions to these stressors impair vision, cognitive processing and the performance of fine and complex motor skills, and can significantly affect the ability to successfully manage casualties. Whenever the Rescue Human Factors® icon appears next to a NAR product, it has been specifically engineered to mitigate many of the inhibiting variables that occur in high stress situations.

NAR prides itself on the quality and reliability of our products. Items marked with this icon have been specifically branded with NAR’s signature Red Tip Technology® packaging. You can use these items with confidence, knowing that they have been engineered for the less-than-optimal, often hostile conditions that exist when our equipment is needed the most. Accept no imitations!

We take great pride in offering a wide range of casualty care equipment to meet the needs of today's prehospital emergency healthcare providers. Throughout our entire product line, certain items are designated with NAR's 3X Standard®, as a permanent assurance of quality.
