HEMGUARD™ Targeted Pressure Bandage: Precision Matters in Hemorrhage Control

HEMGUARD™ Targeted Pressure Bandage: Precision Matters in Hemorrhage Control

When seconds count and bleeding must be stopped fast, the gear you carry makes all the difference. The HEMGUARD™ Targeted Pressure Bandage delivers precision hemorrhage control with a breakthrough design that’s rapidly becoming a favorite among medics, first responders, and tactical professionals worldwide.

Born from real-world battlefield experience, the HEMGUARD from 6:8 Medical Solutions, is part of the Popp Point Pressure™ system—a revolutionary approach to bleeding control that focuses pressure exactly where it's needed most.

What Sets the HEMGUARD™ Apart?

Targeted Pressure Application

Unlike traditional elastic pressure bandages that distribute force evenly across an area, the HEMGUARD delivers focused mechanical pressure directly to the wound site. This increases effectiveness and reduces the chance of re-bleeding. The specialized pressure head can be anchored over the injury to exert downward force exactly where it matters.

Invented by a Combat Medic

The HEMGUARD was designed by a seasoned U.S. Army Special Operations medic who understood the limitations of existing bandages. That field-tested insight led to the development of a pressure delivery system that could be used even under the most chaotic conditions—where fine motor skills fail, time is short, and the stakes are life or death.

Made for High-Risk Zones

The bandage excels in controlling hemorrhage at junctional sites—like the neck, groin, and armpits—as well as amputations or wounds on curved or mobile body surfaces. These are areas where traditional pressure dressings often fail due to poor fit or circumferential slippage.

4-Way Anchor & Mechanical Leverage

With a unique wrap design, the HEMGUARD allows pressure to be redirected in multiple directions. You can anchor the bandage up to four ways or apply mechanical force in two directions simultaneously—providing exceptional pressure maintenance even during casualty movement or evacuation.

Why Choose the HEMGUARD™?

• Faster Pressure Delivery
  No more improvising with makeshift gauze stacks or rigging extra wraps. The HEMGUARD delivers reliable, sustained pressure straight out of the packaging.

• Enhanced Patient Comfort
  By applying pressure to a localized point rather than wrapping tightly around the entire limb, there’s less risk of nerve compression or impaired circulation.

• Built for Chaos
  Whether under fire, at a crash scene, or in a remote environment, this bandage was made for conditions where time, space, and dexterity are in short supply.

• Versatile Deployment
  Works well on small, medium, or large body types—male or female, adult or adolescent. Can be applied solo or by a teammate.

Tactical Upgrade: Pair It with Your Hemostatic of Choice

For those who want even more focused control, the HEMGUARD is a perfect adjunct to use with hemostatic agents.  No more waiting 3 to 5 minutes physically using your hands to apply direct pressure.  Pack the wound, apply the HEMGUARD, and move on to the next problem.  It’s the ultimate combo for mission-critical hemorrhage control.
