JETT Junctional Emergency Treatment Tool from North American Rescue

Severe trauma can be difficult to treat in the field. While most providers don't come into contact with it on a daily basis, it's something military medics are all to familiar with. And unfortunately for civilian EMS providers, school shootings and other acts of domestic terrorism only seem to happen with greater frequency.

Providers cannot allow themselves to be ill-equipped to respond to these types of attacks. They don't need to be without tools like the Junctional Emergency Treatment Tool, or JETT™, from North American Rescue, LLC. The JETT offers a treatment solution for injuries that are more and more common to military personnel due to IED blasts and penetrating trauma located too high in the groin or inguinal space to be treated by standard tourniquet devices.

The JETT represents an increased capability for treating what has become the new leading cause of preventable combat death: junctional hemorrhage. Developed in conjunction with the Center for Translational Injury Research at the University of Texas, the JETT targets the treatment of junctional injuries by applying direct pressure to the inguinal artery. It’s innovative design offers several significant advantages over any other device currently on the market. The JETT provides two pressure pads in a single device with the ability to treat both unilateral and bilateral injuries, thereby stopping blood flow to the lower extremities without impeding respiration. It is configured for easy, rapid deployment and comes pre-assembled and ready for use in a compact, vacuum-sealed pouch. Additionally, the JETT is designed to allow for patient movement without dislodging or reducing pressure, enabling it to be effectively utilized in the prehospital environment. Another key advantage is that the JETT is a mechanical device rather than a pneumatic or air inflated device, which means that it maintains steady pressure on the injury regardless of atmospheric pressure or temperature changes, and is rugged enough to withstand the rigors of austere environments without fear of puncture or damage to an air bladder.
