SMART PNEUMATIC TOURNIQUET
The Product
Pressure Medical designs and produces smart pneumatic tourniquets for field use to stop bleeding caused by military combat trauma, industrial accidents, & other critical care situations, saving life and limb.
Our Mission
Saving Life & Limb
Pressure Medical serves the mission to stop uncontrolled bleeding in challenging environments, saving life & limb. With our new patented technology, we design & 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.
