SBTR GEN2 small military backpack is a compact version of the backpack for combat medics and anyone who needs maximum functionality in a small form. It retains the modularity of the Trauma Responder system, is made of original CORDURA® fabric and has a redesigned carrying system with fully removable shoulder straps.
The backpack is part of Black Front’s Trauma Responder system, which consists of: the LBTR large backpack, the SBTR small backpack, the large TR pouch and the small PTR pouch. The elements can be combined and configured in the PALS/MOLLE system thanks to Laser Cut slots, increasing or reducing capacity as needed. The backpack can work on its own or together with the LBTR large backpack, to which it connects with three stiffened straps.
It comes with 3 modular pouches 27 × 14 × 8 cm with a transparent top panel and a label field. Hook-and-loop in the compartment and on the bottoms of the pouches prevents them from falling out. On the sides there are 3 elastic straps, and on the flap a rip-away panel with a dense grid of eyelets and a shock cord. Two lower straps let you attach e.g. a sheet stretcher. The YKK zips are splash-proof and the plastic parts are Duraflex.
SBTR GEN2 small military backpack measures 40 × 30 × 11 cm, has a capacity of approx. 13.2 l and is available in black or red. The larger backpack in the system is the LBTR GEN2, and the straps fit the Black Front SOFT sheet stretcher.

How to pack rescue equipment?
Group equipment by task: bleeding, airway, dressings, immobilisation, personal protection. Keep the most important modules – for stopping bleeding and opening the airway – closest to the opening. Label the pouches, restock after every call and check expiry dates regularly.
