Tourniquets

The SAM Junctional Tourniquet (SJT) for haemorrhage control is designed to control bleeding where standard tourniquets would not be effective, such as severe wounds to the high upper leg, and time is of the essence. It is compact, easy to use (only four steps), and quick to apply (typically under 25 seconds). The Target Compression Device (TCD) is placed at or near the injury site and pumped up until the bleeding stops. Two TCDs can be used to occlude blood flow bilaterally if needed. The rugged design ensures that the device stays firmly attached to the patient during transport. Designed to exceed MIL-STD-810g requirements.

The Patented SAM® AUTOSTOP buckle acts to ensure all slack is removed prior to TCD inflation. Once optimal compressive force is reached, two prongs activate, clicking to confirm correct application. The buckle is secured in place with its Velcro® system strap

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
