Safe Guard Medical Tactical Mechanical Tourniquet

Safe Guard Medical Tactical Mechanical Tourniquet

The Safe Guard Medical Tactical Mechanical Tourniquet (TMT) is a Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care-recommended tourniquet, added to the Guidelines in 2019.

The Tactical Mechanical Tourniquet is one of the newest tourniquets to be proposed to the United State’s Department of Defense since 2005!

Wider Made for a Better Tourniquet

The Tactical Mechanical Tourniquet is a major advancement in tourniquet care with its 2″ wide pressure band, resolving issues that profoundly affect the amount of blood loss from extremity hemorrhage.

Older tourniquet designs are documented as too narrow to guarantee successful occlusion with the application of only one tourniquet.

Product Benefits

• FAST: True One-Handed Application in 30 seconds or less
• DURABLE: Co-poly resin acetyl with IR/UV protective additive
• BETTER: eliminates the current tourniquet “percentage of failure” rate

Product Attributes

• True one-handed application for both upper and lower extremities in 30 seconds or less
• Wider band for occlusion at lower pressure and increased comfort
• Dual locking mechanism to prevent slippage and loss of pressure
• Audible signature “click” identifies torsion bar is secure
• Advanced materials with IR and UV protection
• Integrated UV protection for increased durability
• Accommodates varying limb circumferences:
  • 5-3/4” Min
  • 38” Max

Clinical Benefits

• Tactical Mechanical Tourniquet allows for faster application in one handed and two handed application compared to other tourniquets
• Increased comfort from the wider band allows for better occlusion at lower pressure without further harm to the patient
• Ease of application and intuitive use
• Cost effective-
  • Reduced budget requirement for fielding of force
  • Increased capability and efficacy over current solution
