In emergency medicine and trauma care, innovative medical devices can mean the difference between life and death. Pressure Medical is proud to announce our strategic partnership with Naval Surface Warfare Center to develop and commercialize a revolutionary junctional tourniquet designed to save lives in critical bleeding emergencies. This collaboration represents a significant milestone in emergency medical technology, combining Pressure Medical's innovative design expertise with Naval Surface Warfare's advanced research capabilities and defense industry experience.


The Critical Need for Advanced Junctional Tourniquets


Junctional hemorrhage remains one of the leading causes of preventable death in trauma situations. Traditional tourniquets often fail to control bleeding at the junction where limbs meet the torso, particularly in cases involving:


  • Severe pelvic injuries

  • Proximal limb trauma

  • Combat-related junctional wounds


Statistics reveal that junctional hemorrhage accounts for approximately 80% of traumatic deaths due to exsanguination in combat scenarios. Our partnership with Naval Surface Warfare addresses this critical gap in emergency medical care.


What Makes Our Junctional Tourniquet Revolutionary


Rapid Hemorrhage Control Technology


Our medical device features rapid deployment capabilities specifically engineered for life-threatening bleeding situations. Clinical studies demonstrate that every minute saved in pressure application can increase survival chances by up to 10%.


Key Product Features:
