Delfi’s unrivalled Emergency & Military Tourniquet is designed to deliver the highest level of tourniquet safety with durable portability. In ground-based tactical situations and first response trauma incidents, the EMT is used as a life-saving haemorrhage control device.
Based on over 40 years of Delfi’s world leading tourniquet technology, the EMT’s wide bladder pneumatic design is proven to completely stop arterial blood-flow on both upper and lower limbs, unlike narrow tourniquets which are often ineffective no matter how tightly they are applied, potentially causing further injury to the limb.
The EMT is fast and simple to self-apply, and requires minimal training, and has been recommended for medics and medic vehicles by the US Army Institute for Surgical Research.
An independent assessment completed by the United States Army Institute of Surgical Research (USAISR) found the EMT to be effective in 100% of all trials. In addition, the EMT was found to be “wider and thus significantly less painful than any device tested and is much less likely to induce nerve damage”, compared to either of the strap tourniquets (SOFTT and CAT).
