Abdominal Aortic and Junctional Tourniquet - Stabilized (AAJT-S)

Rapid Junctional Control When Standard Tourniquets Fail

The AAJT-S is engineered to stop life threatening bleeding in areas where standard limb tourniquets cannot be applied, including inguinal and axillary junctions, and the pelvis. Designed for medics, combat lifesavers, tactical medics, EMS crews, and hospital trauma teams, it provides broad area pressure to reliably occlude arterial inflow to upper or lower extremities, or pelvis. The device is quick to position and tighten, making it ideal for time critical hemorrhage control in prehospital and austere environments. Its proven performance in maintaining occlusion during patient movement supports casualty extraction and transport, bridging patients to definitive surgical care.

Controlled Occlusion with Compact, User Friendly Design

The AAJT-S uses an intuitive tightening system and a broad pressure surface to deliver consistent, stabilized occlusion. At just 25 oz and storing at approximately 7.5 in by 6.5 in by 2 in, it is the lightest and most compact junctional tourniquet available, fitting easily into IFAKs and vehicle kits. The device applies a large effective pressure area for increased reliability across body types, and its design translates to a lower training burden compared to advanced endovascular techniques such as Zone 3 REBOA. The simple application steps reduce cognitive load under stress, enabling faster control of critical junctional and abdominal hemorrhage.

Durable Materials Built for Field Use

Constructed from advanced, medical grade textiles and resilient hardware, the AAJT-S is built to withstand repeated deployment in harsh conditions. Materials are selected to resist abrasion and maintain structural integrity during patient movement and transport, while pressure components are engineered for consistent performance. The stabilized platform reduces migration and maintains occlusion under dynamic conditions, a critical quality during extrication and ambulance or helicopter transport. Though compact, the unit is robust, meeting the durability expectations of military and civilian emergency medical teams who require gear that performs reliably when seconds matter.

Flexible Use Across Environments and Scenarios

The AAJT-S is versatile across a wide range of operational settings, from point of injury on the battlefield to civilian mass casualty incidents. It can be applied to the abdomen for aortic occlusion, to inguinal or axillary junctional sites, and for temporizing control of bleeding prior to definitive care. The device is appropriate for tactical casualty care, EMS response, search and rescue, and hospital preoperative stabilization. Its compact footprint and light weight make it suitable for individual first aid kits, vehicle caches, and resupply packs, ensuring rapid access when junctional or pelvic hemorrhage threatens life.
