The Abdominal Aortic & Jonctional Tourniquet-Stabilized (AAJT-S)

Compression Works is the developer and manufacturer of the Abdominal Aortic & Junctional Tourniquet–Stabilized (AAJT-S). They deliver innovative solutions to meet the most pressing and unmet needs of emergency healthcare providers. Compression Works is committed to hemorrhage control research, identifying capability gaps, and developing technologies and products to help facilitate the delivery of quality life-saving care. Their bleeding control solutions are used by militaries around the world as well as U.S. trauma centers, rural emergency departments, EMS, and federal to local law enforcement agencies. Compression Works is a veteran owned business dedicated to saving lives on and off the battlefield. All products are manufactured and assembled in the USA.

The AAJT-S is the world’s only multi-functional life saving tourniquet for application in the axilla, on the abdomen, in the inguinal region for control of junctional and pelvic bleeding and for pelvic fracture stabilization and Zone 3 REBOA.

REBOA (resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta) stops massive bleeding and confines the blood volume to the heart, brain and kidneys. Which can be a life-saving intervention for severely bleeding patients. Unfortunately, REBOA is currently limited to hospital use by a physician and requires catheterization and ultrasound equipment. AAJT-S can produce a ‘REBOA Effect’ in under a minute.
