The SAM® Junctional Tourniquet (SJT) is an essential device for emergency responders, designed to control severe bleeding in areas where traditional tourniquets cannot be applied, such as the inguinal and axilla regions. This life-saving tool can be deployed in less than 25 seconds, providing rapid hemorrhage control and stabilizing pelvic fractures, which is critical in traumatic injuries.
The SJT features the innovative SAM® AUTOSTOP buckle, which ensures all slack is removed before inflation of the Target Compression Device (TCD). The AUTOSTOP buckle’s two-prong system clicks to indicate correct application, securing with a reliable Velcro® strap for stability. This user-friendly design instills confidence, even in high-pressure situations.
The TCD inflates swiftly using a removable hand pump or any luer lock syringe, effectively minimizing blood loss. For comprehensive care, two TCDs can be employed to occlude blood flow bilaterally, ensuring maximum efficiency in bleeding control.
Incorporating the SAM® Junctional Tourniquet into your emergency medical kit enhances your readiness to manage critical bleeding and stabilize pelvic fractures, providing peace of mind and enhancing patient outcomes in emergency scenarios.
