SWAT-T Tourniquet

Item # STTO

The SWAT-Tourniquet™ from Blue Monster Prep is a unique and multipurpose dressing. Its name provides a description for usage Stretch, Wrap, and Tuck, but also the communities for whom it was developed - military and civilian Special Weapons and Tactics teams. These teams operate in an environment that has a high incidence of penetrating trauma, and most (two-thirds) of preventable deaths in the operational environment are from extremity bleeding.

The SWAT-Tourniquet™ allows a more rapid means to control extremity bleeding and allows application higher into the groin and axilla than other tourniquets. Its ease of application is one of its greatest benefits; individuals can effectively apply it in seconds with little to no prior training. Unique instructions are printed on the elastic that indicate the level of pressure exerted.

In addition to being used as a tourniquet when bleeding is severe (arterial) and loss of life is of greatest concern, the SWAT-T can be used as a pressure dressing - when hemorrhage is controlled or for venous and capillary oozing. It can also be used as an elastic bandage to hold ice near sprains and strains, stabilize a twisted knee/ankle, or to sling a shoulder.

Proven safe and effective for adult through pediatric use, and canine limbs.
