Junctional hemorrhage — bleeding at the groin and pelvis where the limb meets the torso — accounts for roughly 19% of potentially survivable battlefield deaths. The common femoral artery exits the pelvis beneath the inguinal ligament, in a spot a circumferential limb tourniquet simply cannot reach.
What controls bleeding a limb tourniquet can't reach?
The JETT is a mechanical junctional tourniquet built for that zone. A belt assembly carries two individually adjustable trapezoidal compression pads that apply direct pressure over the common femoral arteries below the inguinal ligament — unilateral or bilateral. It deploys pre-assembled and pre-staged for both lower extremities, so a responder needs no extra setup to treat bilateral injury. Developed against U.S. Army Combat Casualty Care Research Program requirements; CoTCCC-recommended; FDA 510(k) cleared; made in the USA.
Why the JETT
Reaches the Junction
Targets the common femoral artery below the inguinal ligament — the zone limb tourniquets can't occlude.
Bilateral, Pre-Staged
Two pads pre-positioned for both lower extremities — no extra setup to treat bilateral injury.
Toggle-Lock Windlass
Lanyard-and-toggle locks each windlass against unwinding from vibration and movement during transport.
Pelvic Stabilization
Circumferential compression adds pelvic-fracture stabilization — a dual benefit in the blast-injury pattern.
Evidence
In cadaveric testing with the common femoral artery cannulated to physiologic pressures, the JETT achieved bilateral common femoral occlusion in as little as 10 seconds, with immediate cessation of flow on application and hemostasis maintained at systemic pressures above 110 mmHg (Gates et al., 2014). Because it compresses the proximal artery before it branches, testing found less potential for vascular damage or neuropraxia than circumferential limb tourniquets.
Who Carries It
Tactical & combat medics — blast and high-thigh/groin hemorrhage
CASEVAC teams — locked occlusion that holds through transport
Agencies & tac-medical — junctional capability beyond limb tourniquets
