Circulation & IVs

The BOA Constricting Band was originally developed for the US Armed Forces and is now a key tool in tactical and trauma care for successful IV access. Whether treating combat casualties or patients with difficult veins, this band helps improve venous access even in high-pressure environments.

Its unique rolling action directs venous blood flow to distal veins while still allowing arterial circulation, reducing procedure time and increasing success rates. Ideal for use with trauma patients, diabetics, or individuals with chronic vascular issues, the BOA is an essential addition to any field medical kit.

Key Features:

• Military-Grade Design: Built for the US Armed Forces and tested in high-stress environments
• Improved Venous Access: Rolling action improves blood flow to peripheral veins
• Time-Efficient: Reduces time to achieve successful IV placement in emergencies
• Versatile Use: Effective for combat, civilian trauma, and patients with difficult venous access
• Simple to Use: Placed high on the limb for optimal performance
