UNDER FIRE

IMMEDIATE, EFFECTIVE HAEMORRHAGE CONTROL

Battlefield triage requires working fast in the field of fire, balancing medical necessity
with personal survival. The iTClamp, a trauma clamp device providing instant,
TM
temporary control of life-threatening haemorrhage, gives military response personnel
the tool to treat and evacuate patients quickly. The device seals the edges of a wound
closed to create a stable clot to mitigate further blood loss until wounds can be surgically
repaired. This innovative breakthrough, applied in seconds with minimal pain to the
1,2
patient – even for self-aid, can be used by any trained military personnel, not just medics. 3
