TMT TOURNIQUET

DESCRIPTION OF THE TMT (TACTICAL MECHANICAL TOURNIQUET) :

The TMT Tourniquet (Tactical Mechanical Tourniquet) is a medical device designed to control limb hemorrhages and is currently the second tourniquet in service with the US Army alongside the famous CAT Gen7. It is CO-TCCC approved and this TMT tourniquet was developed at the request of the US Army to optimize the effect of tactical tourniquets used in theaters of operations.

This TMT tourniquet is a response to lessons learned on the battlefield where the US Army found that it often took 2 tourniquets to stop bleeding on the lower limbs. The TMT is the widest tourniquet on the market at 5.71 centimeters while current competitor tourniquets measure on average less than 4cm.

This emergency device offers increased comfort thanks to its wider band which allows for better occlusion at lower pressure without further harm to the injured person.

Very quick to apply (less than 30 seconds), very effective, this tourniquet is a serious alternative to the legendary CAT tactical tourniquet.
