North American Rescue · Thermal Casualty Wrap Reinforced Heat Reflective Shell A 4-ply composite casualty wrap that encloses a patient head to foot. A protected non-conductive reflective layer holds radiant heat in; 1.5 in. continuous Velcro closures run the full length so the wrap opens anywhere for assessment or IV access without stripping thermal protection off the patient. Reinforced and weight-tested to 250+ lb, so it also drags. 4-ply compositeTested to 250+ lb1.5 in. full-length VelcroHood + fluid pad · Made in USA A space blanket fails at the moment you need it most — when you move the patient. This one is rated to be the thing you move them with. What's Included One item, one package. Tap to read what is built into the shell and what is not in the box. VIEW ▾What's in the Package — one shell · single-patient use 1× Reinforced Heat Reflective Shell (HRS™) — 4-ply composite wrap with a protected, non-conductive reflective inner layer and outer plies for physical protection. Tapered wide at the shoulders and narrowing toward the feet to cut dead air space. Integrated hood, built into the shell — addresses heat loss from the head without a separate cover. Integrated fluid-absorption pad, built into the shell — manages wound drainage inside the wrap. 1.5 in. continuous Velcro® closures running the full length of the shell, giving 360° access at any point along the patient without opening the whole wrap. Reinforced construction, weight-tested by the manufacturer to 250+ lb, so the shell doubles as a drag or litter assist. NOT INCLUDED: no active or chemical heat source of any kind. This shell is a passive reflective barrier — it retains the patient's own heat and does not generate any. If your protocol calls for active warming, that is a separate product (North American Rescue's HPMK-I is the complete system; this is the wrapping component of it). NOT INCLUDED: no litter, no straps, no fluid warmer. The 250+ lb rating describes the shell's own tear resistance during a drag; it is not a litter system. ▾Specifications Reinforced Heat Reflective Shell — specifications Specification Detail Manufacturer North American Rescue Product Heat Reflective Shell (HRS™) — Reinforced Construction 4-ply composite with protected non-conductive reflective layer Weight capacity Reinforced and tested to 250+ lb Closure 1.5 in. continuous Velcro® — 360° access along the full length Built-in features Integrated hood, integrated fluid-absorption pad, tapered shape Water performance Waterproof — the heat-reflective material does not absorb water and holds its thermal barrier when wet (manufacturer) Reuse Single-patient use. The manufacturer states the reinforced construction extends usability over a standard emergency blanket, but directs replacement after each patient on hygiene and contamination grounds. Heat source None — passive reflective barrier only Country of origin Made in USA NSN Not published in the manufacturer data reproduced on this listing. The manufacturer states the standard and reinforced variants carry separate NSN listings. Dimensions / packed weight Not published in the manufacturer data reproduced on this listing Construction, weight rating, closure, built-in features, water performance and origin are as published by North American Rescue. Two gaps are worth naming: neither the shell's dimensions nor its packed weight and packed size appear in the manufacturer data on this listing, and neither does the NSN — if you are sizing a pouch or building a procurement line, confirm both with the manufacturer first. On CoTCCC status: hypothermia prevention from the point of injury is a TCCC intervention, and the HRS family is the wrapping method commonly referenced for it, but that is a statement about the intervention, not a device recommendation — the CoTCCC recommended-device lists cover tourniquets, hemostatic dressings, chest seals and needles, and this shell is not annotated as a CoTCCC-recommended device on this page. Confirm current hypothermia management protocol with your unit medical authority. This page carries no temperature thresholds, no rewarming rates and no treatment endpoints; the manufacturer publishes none for this device, and hypothermia management belongs to your protocol and medical direction. ▾Who Carries It Combat and tactical medics doing point-of-injury thermal management, where the wrap has to survive being dragged, loaded and unloaded · Law enforcement tactical teams holding a casualty through prolonged care under threat · EMS and ground transport crews as the trauma thermal wrap for a hemorrhage or shock patient · Search and rescue, alpine and maritime teams where a consumer emergency blanket tears under wind, movement and rough surfaces · Prolonged field care and casualty collection points holding patients against wind, cold ground and wet while awaiting evacuation. Hypothermia is a preventable contributor to the trauma lethal triad, and it is why thermal management sits alongside hemorrhage control rather than after it. Two practical notes from the manufacturer's own material: unwarmed IV fluid and blood products actively cool a patient, so wrapping is not a substitute for warming what you are infusing; and this shell adds no heat of its own, so it holds what the patient still has rather than restoring what is already lost. When to warm, how fast, and to what endpoint are protocol decisions set by your medical direction — this page describes a device, not a treatment plan.
