The TMT™ (Tactical Mechanical Tourniquet) is a bleeding-control device specifically designed to manage massive haemorrhage from the limbs. Developed from lessons learned in battlefield environments, the TMT is designed for easy application and effective occlusion. It can also be self-applied, requiring minimal training to address life-threatening bleeding quickly. It is intended to address shortcomings of other tourniquets, including the ability to adjust pressure.

At one-third the cost and weight of many other combat tourniquets, the SWAT-T™ is an essential medical item for any first-aid kit. Originally designed for military and civilian special weapons and tactics teams. It is carried by emergency medical services, law-enforcement officers, contractors abroad, and medical and non-medical personnel in federal, conventional and special operations.

Hook-and-loop tourniquet that applies increasing pressure with each wrap. Acting as an effective compression dressing, FullStop® increases circumferential pressure with every turn. The material should be pulled firmly (ideally to the limit of its elasticity); once applied, the application time can be written on the end of the device.

Chest seal for open pneumothorax, with four one-way valves. Innovative hydrogel medical dressing designed to cover penetrating chest wounds (open pneumothorax), allowing air to escape the pleural cavity while preventing air from being drawn in. Brand: Prometheus Medical.

The Olaes® modular bandage represents a new generation of trauma dressings. It features a transparent pressure cup that focuses pressure on the wound and allows visual inspection of bleeding. Developed with input from experienced combat medics, it includes anti-unrolling strips on the elastic wrap and Z-fold packed gauze. Its compact design offers versatile use: covering minor wounds, applying effective pressure dressings and occlusive dressings, and packing serious wounds with gauze. Latex-free. Contains 3 metres of sterile, four-ply gauze.

Accordion-folded chitosan-impregnated haemostatic gauze designed to control moderate to severe bleeding. The dressing contains a radiopaque strip to help locate it during X-ray examination. See the Description section for full product details.

The Blast® Bandage also includes a removable occlusive layer covering a 48 × 48 cm area, or it can be used to cover exposed abdominal contents while reducing heat and moisture loss. Velcro® control strips prevent the elastic roll from unwinding accidentally and keep the dressing secure during application. Multiple attachment points reduce slippage of the elastic wrap while it is being wound. This helps produce a more secure and effective dressing and reduces the chance of wound exposure during movement.
