Tourniquet Tips - Video

TacMed Australia is now stocking the COMBAT APPLICATION TOURNIQUET (C.A.T)- G7. It has all the great features of the Gen 6 C.A.T but has added features including the NEW Single Routing Buckle for faster application, decreased blood loss, effective slack removal, fewer windlass turns, and simplified training with single protocol application standards

COMBAT APPLICATION TOURNIQUET (CAT) G7

The CAT (Combat Application Tourniquet) is a small and lightweight arterial tourniquet that completely occludes blood flow in an extremity. Used for the treatment of life-threatening bleeding, the C.A.T Tourniquet uses a Self-Adhering Band and a Friction Adaptor Buckle to fit a wide range of extremities combined with a one-handed windlass system. The windlass uses a free moving internal band to provide true circumferential pressure to an extremity. The windlass is then locked in place; this requires only one hand, with the Windlass Clip. The C.A.T Tourniquet also has a Hook-and-Loop Windlass Strap for further securing of the windlass during patient transport.

The Tourniquet Retention Assistance Clip (TRAC) is changing the game for the SOFTT-W Tourniquet. The retrofit TRAC allows users who work in high threat environments to apply the SOFTT-W by single-handed self-application a whole lot easier!

The OMNA Tourniquet Board Leash range is a revolutionary device that combines a board leash and emergency arterial tourniquet! Major bleeding can cause death within 3 minutes if left untreated. Studies have shown that if a tourniquet is applied to a life-threatening bleed before the onset of shock, patients have a 96% survival rate.

The OMNA Tourniquet Board Leash has all the features and versatility you expect from a board leash and comes equipped with a tourniquet cuff that can be used to control life-threatening bleeding on a limb. It is the only regulatory compliant medical device (Tourniquet) and Board Leash in the World.

The device is made in the US from high-quality materials and designed to endure extreme wear.

The OMNA Tourniquet Board Leash comes in multiple sizes and options including Shortboards, Long Boards, Big Wave, Body Board and SUP. TacMed now proudly offers OMNA's short board leash in 2 sizes( 6 and 8 feet) and the body board leash in 4 feet. We also offer these respective sizes in Standard or Quick Release options. More options landing soon!

TacMed Australia now carries the K9 Tourniquet. This TQ has been engineered to work effectively on tapered anatomy, such as the leg of a K9, and is designed to be placed high on the limb. It has integrated traction technology that prevents the tourniquet from slipping down the animal’s leg, which would result in a loss of compression.

The slippage is amplified when the animal is started to be moved and extricated. Slippage is a common occurrence when tourniquets or pressure dressings designed for humans are used on such tapered anatomy.

The K9 Tourniquet addresses these issues and does so with a quick application time

In 45 seconds, even if you have no medical training, you can save a limb. You can save a life. With the Abdominal Aortic and Junctional Tourniquet (AAJT). The most studied, field-tested, and proven device of its kind on the market, the AAJT is the only junctional tourniquet to have saved human life in upper and lower hemorrhage. The only one. Which is why every first responder, medic, and emergency team must have access to this device. Without it, people will die.

Small, compact, and lightweight, the AAJT is a circumferential device that utilizes a belt, windlass, and pneumatic pressure to compress the aorta or the arteries supplying the groin or axilla. The belt and windlass together greatly increase the stability of the compression. The pneumatic, wedge-shaped bladder provides focused pressure to safely compress major arteries and control blood flow.

AAJT is currently used by:

• The U.S. Military
• City, county, state, and federal agencies
• Militaries of foreign countries including England, Finland, Sweden, Germany, Austria, Spain, Ecuador, Canada, New Zealand, Australia and others
