Perfect Solution
I wanted a trauma kit that I could access easily from the driver’s seat. The HEDR is well equipped, easily deployable, and high quality. I feel better having this in my car in case of a major medical emergency.

Holy sh (cow) I needed one of these years ago
I hope I never need to use this, but I am so glad I have it. So much better than my old bailout bag, never knowing exactly where it had rolled to if I needed it. This rides on the back of the passenger headrest and is so easy to get to with one hand while opening the door with the other. Dark Angle Medical, you guys rock, seriously.

Well made
I have limited first aid background but I was impressed with the kit and I really liked how I was able to easily affix it to the head rest of my truck making very handy and yet out of the way.

Outstanding as always
Pocket Doc never fails to impress. Having a readily accessible kit in your vehicle is a huge deal, and this kit delivers the essentials in a no nonsense, easy to use package. I highly recommend this for EVERYONE.

Excellent car trauma kit
Installs easily on the headrest and simple to grab when needed. The kit has everything that I need for an emergency situation. The only thing missing in installation instructions, it requires looking at the pictures on the website and some trial and error.

It rides shotgun with me.
This is my third kit from DAM. They have great quality kits and this one didnt disappoint. Just put this kit on the headrest on the passenger seat and looks good. The head rap stays secure while the kit pulls off easily. I hope I never have to actually use it though.

Headrest Emergency Deployment Rig (HEDR)
Perfect size, great products inside, and nice having the piece of mind while driving in the car.

Great Med kit/ Great placement option
Great Med kit with room for a few additions. I doubled the supplies, in mine. Great placement. Anyone in a 4 door truck can reach it.

HEDR is a Hit
HEDR is an outstanding trauma kit for your car that contains what you might need for a serious accident. I added a second tourniquet, decompression needle. The kit is pretty full as it comes, so not a lot of room for add ons. I put a headlamp in the elastic front pouch, hung a roll of surgical tape by the sheers, and added separate sets of gloves as the first thing i see when it opens. Im gonna add a surgical mask when i can get one. I think the front elastic pouch could be better as an enclosed compartment with a zipper. Overall i wish it were about 20% to 33% bigger with some room to add things like more alcohol prep pads, water based lube gel for the NPA, antiseptic pads, peroxide, saline wash, another eye shield, etc. While the kit is designed just to bridge the first 20 minutes until EMT arrives, situations could take longer. Of course you could always attach an auxiliary pouch for this. Overall this is a great kit that is more modern than the one i built myself for the same purpose. Highly recommend.

Perfect Add
This kit is the perfect add to my truck. I have a larger kit with extra items as well - but this is perfect for what it is designed for - RAPID, FIRST RESPONSE. If I need more than the kit carries, I have it, but the First Response is key. I wouldn't trade it for anything.

H.E.D.R.
This is my third kit from Dark Angel. This one is specifically for the wife's car. I keep a D.A.R.K. in my pick up that can go with me on my belt or into the work truck. I also have the ankle kit that is always in arms reach. But this one will stay put in the wife's car. Now I just need to get her to the class!
