General Information
The SWAT-T Rescue Tourniquet™ is a versatile and multipurpose dressing designed to provide rapid and effective control of extremity bleeding. The name SWAT-T stands for "Stretch, Wrap, and Tuck," describing its application method and its development for military and civilian Special Weapons and Tactics teams. These teams often operate in high-risk environments with a high incidence of penetrating trauma, where most preventable deaths result from extremity bleeding. The SWAT-T tourniquet is easy to use, highly effective, and lightweight, making it an essential addition to any emergency responder's kit.
Features
- Efficient Bleeding Control: The SWAT-Tourniquet™ is a highly efficient tool for controlling extremity bleeding, capable of being applied to limbs, groin, armpits, and even the neck. Its design allows for rapid application in critical situations, minimizing blood loss and increasing survival chances.
- Ease of Application: One of the greatest benefits of the SWAT-T is its simplicity. It can be effectively applied in seconds with little to no prior training, making it ideal for emergency situations where time is of the essence.
- Lightweight and Compact: Weighing just 0.1 kg and with compact dimensions, the SWAT-T is easy to carry and store. Its lightweight design ensures that it can be included in any emergency kit without adding significant weight.
- Versatile Use: Unlike other tourniquets, the SWAT-T allows for higher application into the groin and axilla, making it a versatile tool for various types of extremity bleeding.
- Cost-Effective: At a third of the cost and weight of other combat-used tourniquets, the SWAT-T provides an economical yet effective solution for tactical operators and emergency responders.
Proven Effectiveness
- Field-Proven: The SWAT-T™ has been heavily researched and is field-proven, trusted by professionals in the most demanding environments.
- Flexible Application: The tourniquet is effective for self-application, even in wet or bloody conditions. It has been successfully used in pediatric and adult patients, as well as canines, after other tourniquets failed.
- Additional Benefits: The SWAT-T can be applied higher in the axillary and groin regions than other tourniquets. Its wider design ensures better occlusion at lower pressures, making it safer and more effective in controlling bleeding.
