Nodal tourniquet SAM JT

SAM JT Junctional Tourniquet

The SAM Junctional Tourniquet is a specialised tourniquet for stopping bleeding in junctional areas - specifically the groin and axillary zones - where standard tourniquets cannot be applied. It allows for effective bleeding control in complex anatomical areas and is used in situations where a different approach to pressure application is required.

The design includes a flexible base that wraps around the body along with a strap system that secures to the shoulders and torso. Once positioned, the tourniquet is tightened to create the necessary pressure at the target point, allowing bleeding to be stopped and the casualty's condition stabilised.

Key advantages:

• Effective in areas where standard tourniquets cannot be used
• Allows targeted pressure application at critical points
• Flexible design adaptable to various situations
• Reliable body fixation without displacement
• Suitable for complex casualty care scenarios
• Used across various services and units

The SAM JT is used in cases where standard tourniquets are ineffective due to the location of the injury. Its design allows it to address such zones and apply the necessary pressure precisely where it is needed.

This tool is indispensable for rescue services, law enforcement, and military personnel operating in conditions where life-threatening bleeding may occur at junctional areas between the torso and limbs. It complements standard bleeding control tools, expanding the capabilities of a first aid kit or medical set.
