Abdominal Aortic Tourniquet AAJT

The Abdominal Aortic and Junctional Tourniquet (AAJT-S) is the latest life-saving innovation for hemorrhage control when a standard tourniquet cannot be applied.

DESCRIPTION:

This device is designed to stop bleeding by compression, specifically for pelvic and inguinal hemorrhages or lower extremity bleeding caused by IEDs, blast injuries, or high-level amputations when standard tourniquets are ineffective or cannot be applied.

INDICATIONS:

• Can be applied at junctional sites (inguinal, axillary) or mid-abdomen.
• The AAJT-S compresses the abdominal aorta when applied to the mid-abdomen, controlling bleeding in the pelvis, groin, and lower extremities.
• FDA-approved for all junctional hemorrhage locations and can remain in place for up to four hours in these areas.
• The AAJT-S is the ONLY junctional tourniquet with documented life-saving success for hemorrhages at the junction of the torso with the upper and lower extremities.
• The AAJT-S is approved for pelvic stabilization.
• Studies have shown that the AAJT-S is equivalent to REBOA in Zone 3.

FEATURES:

• The lightest and most compact junctional tourniquet on the market.
• Easy to use and quick to apply.
• Automatic safety locking mechanism.
• Large effective pressure area for increased reliability.
• Provides stable and complete occlusion of blood flow to the lower extremities, upper extremities, or pelvis.
• Proven capability to remain in place and effective during patient movement.
• Hemostatic efficacy comparable to REBOA Zone 3 (1).
• Lower training burden compared to the REBOA procedure.
