TruCorp’s TruTourniquet offers a realistic training model for massive hemorrhage control, suitable for any healthcare discipline that requires trauma training, including Undergraduate medicine and nursing, Graduate medical and nursing education, EMT, Paramedic, Military, Physician Assistant/Associates, and ATLS (Advanced Trauma Life Support) training.
According to a study in The New England Journal of Medicine (Hemorrhagic Shock by Jeremy W. Cannon, 2018), an estimated 1.9 million deaths per year worldwide are due to hemorrhage, with physical trauma accounting for around 1.5 million, nearly 79%, of that number.
Representative of an above knee amputation on an adult, TruTourniquet can be used to teach realistic hemorrhage control in the field, as well as controlled education scenarios.
The Stop The Bleed® Bill was recently passed in California, US., stating new buildings across the region will be required to have Emergency Response Trauma Kits on site. This is the first law of its kind to make bleeding control kits accessible in this way, taking a big step towards reducing the number of preventable deaths in the US.
