SAM XT Tourniquet

At SEM, we only recommend tourniquets that are fast and easy to self-apply in difficult situations, are made from strong, durable materials, and are effective at stopping life-threatening bleeds. The SAM XT is all of these- a strong strap paired with an aluminum windlass, and an auto-locking buckle that ensures that the tourniquet is placed correctly and prevents accidental release of the tourniquet when moving a patient in an austere environment. This is our go-to for vehicle kits, trauma kits, or other places where we can sacrifice a little weight and bulk for the best bleeding control. The auto-locking buckle makes this tourniquet more effective when used by untrained responders, so it is also our go-to for public access bleeding control kits.

From SAM Medical: Engineered for rapid application, SAM XT’s innovative design normalizes the number of windlass turns needed compared to traditional tourniquets, enabling an easier, faster training of the product and intuitive use. SAM XT’s TRUFORCE™ Buckle technology auto-locks at a predetermined amount of circumferential force, eliminating nearly all tourniquet slack. Simply click, twist, and secure for a life-preserving tourniquet application.
