Uncontrolled bleeding is the leading cause of preventable deaths worldwide.
Bleeding to death is the leading global cause of preventable fatalities, including 90% of combat and 40% of civilian fatalities. Nearly 20% of these deaths are due to uncontrolled bleeding at the torso-appendage junctions (where the leg meets the hip and the arm meets the shoulder). Specialized junctional tourniquets in this market require professional training, time-consuming multi-step assembly, and fine motor movements, and users often experience a high rate of device displacement and loss of bleeding control during patient transport.
