Arterial tourniquets have been recognised as a means of controlling arterial bleeding for hundreds of years, with initial applications being in the control of blood loss during surgical amputations. The earliest documented military application of the device dates back to the American Civil War in 1862 with the recommendation that every combat soldier should be issued a tourniquet, and trained appropriately. Since that time arterial tourniquet use for control of life-threatening bleeding has been extensively debated in the literature, with pre-Vietnam opinion of the tourniquets of the day being largely negative.

With advances in tourniquet technology, as well as the development of battlefield medicine in the past 15 years in Iraq & Afghanistan, tourniquets are now recognised as a safe and effective method in controlling life-threatening haemorrhage.

This Book will cover the theory required for Police and other First Responders to confidently and effectively apply an arterial tourniquet to a life-threatening limb bleed.

Please note - this product is a reference guide to using Arterial Tourniquets and does not include a tourniquet itself. Tacmed recommends and prefers the SOF-T Tourniquet which can be purchased here.

When users were asked what they wanted for organizing disaster emergency response efforts. North American Rescue took in what they said and gave them the T2?? Tactical Triage Kit, the ultimate resource for on-scene tactical triage.

A compact incident command system, the kit streamlines medical triage. A triage flowchart and casualty counter are laminated back-to-back and attached to a break-away lanyard for peak efficiency.
The flowchart summarizes the SALT triage process in easy-to-follow steps. The background of the casualty-count card is divided into colored sections matching the casualty-status levels defined by SALT (IMMEDIATE??red, DELAYED??yellow, MINIMAL??green, EXPECTANT??gray, and DEAD??black). A black grease pencil lets users quickly check off numbers in each category.

The four NAR T2 Tags include a liquid-resistant triage/treatment tag, a plastic sheath with latex-free band for attaching the tag to the patient, a chemical light, a pencil, and status stickers for blood work (contaminated, inside/outside burst, and tourniquet applied).

All this critical triage equipment is contained in a lightweight, rugged vacuum-sealed pouch, making it ideal for trauma packs and vehicle kits
