The Tactical Mechanical Tourniquet (TMT™) is among the latest tourniquets to achieve a CoTCCC recommendation and was subsequently added to the 2019 Tactical Combat Casualty Care guidelines. It is a device specifically designed for massive hemorrhage control of an extremity and also designed to ensure ease of application and definitively achieve occlusion.
Taught as a self-aid and buddy-aid task, the Tactical Mechanical Tourniquet requires minimal training to instantly treat life-threatening hemorrhage of an extremity. The learning curve is quite easy as it requires very similar gross motor skills as other units currently in the market.
Additionally, the TMT eliminates shortcomings found in other tourniquets.
- FAST: True One-Handed Application in 30 seconds or less
- DURABLE: Co-poly resin acetyl with IR/UV protective additive
- BETTER: eliminates the current tourniquet “percentage of failure” rate
The TMT allows the user the ability to apply the tourniquet one-handed to either upper and lower extremities in 30 seconds or less. The wider band allows occlusion to be achieved at lower pressures, which increased comfort and reduces injury. Safety features include a dual locking mechanism to prevent slippage and loss of pressure and audible signature “click” identifies torsion bar is secure.
The TMT TQ is made with advanced materials with IR and UV protection, making it less susceptible to the elements from exposure, increasing its service life, and ensuring it works when you need it.
It is fully adjustable to accommodate varying limb circumferences ranging from 5-3/4” min to 38” max.
