Safe Guard Medical Tactical Mechanical Tourniquet

Safe Guard Medical Tactical Mechanical Tourniquet

The Tactical Mechanical Tourniquet (TMT) is a bleeding control device specifically designed for massive hemorrhage control of an extremity.

Using lessons learned from the battlefield, the TMT is designed to ensure ease of application and definitively achieve occlusion.

Taught as a self-aid and buddy-aid task, the TMT requires minimal training to instantly treat life-threatening hemorrhage of an extremity.

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
