Products with a Mission: What We Do

Our Product Development Philosophy

Product Development remains a hallmark of North American Rescue. We bring a unique understanding of global technology development and implementation with a team of decorated, seasoned former Special Operations medics, experienced Law Enforcement / SWAT / EMS healthcare providers, credentialed product development and quality professionals, former senior military medical officers and experts with a proven track record in product development and deployment. The two major components of NAR's product development efforts are Delta Five Innovations (D5) and the Developmental Testing Directorate (DTD).

Delta Five Innovations (D5)

Based on our customers' needs, the D5 Multi-disciplinary Process applies innovation and ingenuity in the development of new products. The team's first-hand knowledge provides the foundation as we research real-world, quantifiable data for Evidence-based Medicine and truly understand its impact on the end user. This underlying science is one of the most compelling validations for our brand and is what sets us apart from other medical device suppliers.

One of the greatest challenges in tactical medicine is the extreme operational environment. Because the inherent reactions to high stress situations can significantly hinder the successful management of casualties in the field, the D5 team also analyzes the effect of Rescue Human Factors® on the end user. Our product design process takes into consideration these involuntary impairments to vision, hearing, cognitive processing and the performance of fine and complex motor skills all of which inhibit the ability to perform precision medical interventions. Pioneering research into this area of product engineering is another way that we continue to raise the bar of innovation for our industry.

Developmental Testing Directorate (DTD)

The Developmental Testing Directorate (DTD) works hand-in-hand with our developers as we test and validate our entire product line, from advanced prototyping of a new concept through the upgrade engineering of a seasoned product. We rigorously evaluate and verify the capabilities of each product within its own operational environment, including the external fielding of equipment to key targeted user groups. The recently expanded indoor testing center now includes office space, a team room and lab in addition to our existing 20,000-square-foot facility. This state-of-the-art prototyping area offers simulated, extreme high-stress conditions commonly experienced in operational environments and also serves as an educational/training resource for tactical units, test teams and organizations worldwide.

To further support this robust product development agenda, NAR continues to aggressively enhance our growing Online Reference Library featuring our flagship 3D Medical Training Series in high definition. These invaluable audio visual aids explain the purpose and vision of specific gear, provide New Equipment Training (NET) and give guidelines for each product's intended use. Additional support materials, such as white papers, product information sheets and instructions for use are also available for download from the Video Download page or the "video tab" on the individual product pages. Our commitment to these educational resources ensures that you are informed, equipped and optimized for saving lives.
