SAM Junctional Tourniquet (SJT) from SAM Medical Products

Tourniquets are once again in favor for their life-saving ability to control bleeding in an emergency, but there are times when just any old tourniquet won't do.

For major traumas, there's no better solution than the SAM Junctional Tourniquet (SJT) from SAM Medical Products. Designed to control bleeding in areas where standard tourniquets would not be effective, such as with IED/blast injuries or high-level amputations, the SJT can be used to control hemorrhage in the inguinal or axilla areas. With these types of injuries time is of the essence, and the SAM Junctional Tourniquet is compact, easy to use and quick to apply (typically under 25 seconds).

The SJT's rugged design ensures that it will stay securely attached to the patient during transport. In addition, the SAM Junctional Tourniquet stabilizes pelvic fractures. Recent studies indicate that IED-type hemorrhage injuries often have associated pelvic fractures. The patented buckle provides the clinically correct force every time, taking the guesswork out of tightening, which is vital in high stress environments where over-tightening or under-tightening could potentially be harmful.

Because of the limited amount of space available for medical devices in military backpacks and emergency vehicles, the SJT is the perfect fit for military personnel. Combat medics and first responders would need to carry three separate devices to treat the same indications that the SJT can do with one.
