The SAM Junctional Tourniquet (SJT) is specifically designed for haemorrhage control in areas where standard tourniquets are not effective, such as severe wounds to the high upper leg or pelvic region. In critical situations where time is crucial, the SJT provides rapid and reliable bleeding control. Its compact design, ease of use, and quick application time (typically under 25 seconds) make it an invaluable tool in emergency care.
The Target Compression Device (TCD) is placed near the injury site and inflated until bleeding is stopped. For bilateral occlusion, two TCDs can be used. The SAM Junctional Tourniquet is designed to stay securely attached during transport, ensuring the patient’s safety throughout.
With its rugged design, the SJT meets MIL-STD-810G standards, making it suitable for even the most demanding environments. The patented SAM AUTOSTOP buckle ensures that all slack is removed before TCD inflation, with a click confirming proper application.
