Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Normal human adult volunteers wereused to investigate the performance of medical devices intended to stop junctional bleeding on the battlefield.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Four FDA-cleared junctional tourniquets (Combat Ready Clamp (CRoC), Abdominal Aortic and Junctional Tourniquet (AAJT), Junctional Emergency Treatment Tool (JETT), and SAM Junctional Tourniquet (SJT)) wereassessed in a laboratory on healthy human volunteers. Lower extremity pulses were measured in 10 volunteers before and after junctional tourniquet application aimed at stopping the distal pulse assessed by Doppler auscultation. Tourniquets were applied in a randomized fashion, with 5 min rest periods between each application. Each tourniquet was applied to each subject, such that the subjects acted as their own controls.
