Our Vision & Mission

Saving Life & Limb

Pressure Medical serves the mission to stop uncontrolled bleeding in challenging environments, saving life and limb. With our new patented technology, we design and produce smart pneumatic tourniquets that first responders can safely apply with minimal training. When secondary care is delayed, due to combat situations, remote locales, or difficult extractions, stopping blood loss to preserve life while gently managing limb integrity to prevent amputation is essential for the best patient outcomes. We envision a world where everyone survives severe trauma intact.
