At first I was surprised to see Canadian battery developer Panacis at a medical show until I spoke with Matt Fisher. He explained that many tactical medical devices rely on power. The long pole in the tent apparently are the cables.
Panacis offers a couple of different options such as the conformal battery seen above. The chargers and meter are built into these rechargeables meaning they can be recharged more easily.
The new Survival Sling from S.O Tech is a multipurpose item that does 4 things. It’s a 4000 lbs breaking strength strap that can be used as a 2-PT rifle sling. It can also be used as a load carriage and drag strap as well as an extraction harness. To me, the most interesting use is to carry litters, offering a hand free solution for litter bearers.
In a pinch, it can also be used as a belt or combined with other Survival Slings to make a longer rope.
Look for this for sale before SHOT Show.
ADS Inc. and US4CES designer Guy Cramer, have decided to use Hyperstealth’s print on demand process developed by Cramer, President/CEO of Hyperstealth to release 45 new US4CES patterns in two new series: 15 US4CES Bravo Series patterns and 30 US4CES Charlie Series patterns to the commercial market and for printed camouflage trial material to foreign countries outside of the U.S. looking for a new advanced camouflage uniform.
The Alpha variants of US4CES are finalists in the still unresolved US Army Camouflage Improvement Effort and are not yet available for sale. However, with any of these patterns, you get the same technology improvements offered to the Army but in different colorways. Another difference between Alpha and Bravo, is in the color layering, reversing the order of lightest to darkest colors (the patterns are identical other than the color order). Additionally, none of these are NIR compliant.
The Delta variants were also developed for the US Army and in internal testing Cramer found that they performed better. The Charlie variants have been released for sale commercially. The difference between US4CES Delta and Charlie is in the color layering, reversing the order of lightest to darkest colors.
70/30 Poly/Cotton Lightweight fabric is now available for order in 5 yd increments. So everybody that has been chomping at the bit to get their hands on the US4CES patterns, this is your chance.

The Mechanical Blood Volumizer is a militarized version of the Extremity Exsanguination Device from Global Protection Medical Group.
Some of you may remember the old MAST Trousers. They had several issues including bulk, complexity, and vulnerability to ambient pressure shifts. The MBV has none of those issues.
Taking less than 30 seconds you can remove 90% of the blood from the lower extremities. Generally, this is accomplished prior to knee or leg surgery. But, they’ve found that it can also be used during shock and cardiac incidents to help improve blood pressure to the core. Additional benefits include that it’s your own blood and the effect is instantaneous.
It is disposable and they have developed versions for the arms. Packaging has been improved over this early version that you see here.

In addition to introducing the MultiCam transitional pattern to the Assaulter Uniform, LBX Tactical has also refined their fit block. Rather then the slim fit of the first run of Honor Camo versions, the new fit is a more traditional cut. Currently, only Small, Medium and Large are in stock but additional sizes are enroute. These are manufactured from jersey knit torso with 50/50 NYCO ripstop sleeves.

MATBOCK has introduced the new R-LIFT Rigid Litter System. Weighing in at just 6.5 lbs, it shares the same collapsible carbon fiber poles as the S-LIFT and is designed for vertical extraction.
Built to carry up to 400 lbs, it incorporates an inflatable head stabilization bladder as well as webbing patient restraints. The R-LIFT’s body is made from neoprene impregnated nylon that has been dye cut for maritime use as well as weight savings. This component has been reinforced with 6 hinged, composite bars. Additionally, the foot of the litter integrates a rapidly deplorable space blanket to keep patients warm.
All of this collapses down to fit into this spiffy pack. Since it’s only the size of a laptop, it can obviously be carried in other packs as well.
