SOMSA 19 – SAM Chest Seal

Thursday, May 9th, 2019

We all know the SAM Splint but they also manufacture other medical devices like this chest seal.

F76E498C-1445-489B-982E-90564684CD98

The chest seal adheres via Hydrogel and integrates a rigid, raised-dome valve to ensure one-way airflow from the chest cavity, no matter the pressure applied. Large side vents minimize internal obstruction from blood clots or soft tissue.

SOMSA 19 – ZipStitch

Thursday, May 9th, 2019

Mover over butterfly bandages, there’s a new way to secure cuts.

Used in clinical settings for several years, ZipStitch is now available over the counter for use at home.

Designed to close wounds up to 1.5″ in length and 1/8″ wide, ZipStitch utilizes an adhesive which lasts up to seven days. The advantage is that you can close a wound immediately without access to definitive care.

You attach the bandage to either side of the wound, pull the tabs taut and trim the excess.

ZipStitch is now even available on Amazon.

SOMSA 19 – Tactical Mechanical Tourniquet

Thursday, May 9th, 2019

Last week, the Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care (CoTCCC) issued a revised list of approved medical devices for TCCC. This is the first time that new tourniquets have been added to the list in years.

One of these new tourniquets is the Tactical Mechanical Tourniquet available through Combat Medical.

The TMT is now the widest approved TQ. Applied within 30 seconds, the buckle secures the running end of the strap and the windless is secured via a clip. You can both hear and feel when the windless is correctly secured. Additionally, it can be self applied if needed with the strap already running through the buckle. In fact, it will fit limbs between 5-3/4″ and 38″.

The TMT has also been assigned NSN 6515-01-656-6191.

Darley Defense Days 19 – Blue Force Gear Hammock

Tuesday, May 7th, 2019

The Hammock is the quick and easy way to carry a Tourniquet or other similar sized objects, on an existing belt or MOLLE mounted pouch. You can see it here, mounted below a triple Ten-Speed pouch on a PlateMINUS Carrier.

Here you can see that the slots allow the Hammock to be attached below another pouch so you’ll have a tourniquet with you. It reminds of the old M1910 dressing pouch.

Available in Black, Coyote or MultiCam.

Blue Force Gear products are available for unit and agency orders through Darley Defense.
