Uncontrolled hemorrhage remains one of the leading causes of preventable death in trauma care. This is especially true when bleeding occurs in areas where traditional tourniquets are ineffective.¹

The Abdominal Aortic and Junctional Tourniquet-Stabilized (AAJT-S) from CompressionWorks was developed to address these challenging scenarios, providing a single, multifunctional solution for junctional and pelvic hemorrhage control.

The Only Abdominal Tourniquet

The AAJT-S is the world’s only tourniquet that is approved for aortic compression, allowing healthcare providers to control bleeding at the source by compressing the abdominal aorta. When applied to the mid-abdomen, the AAJT-S can effectively stop a hemorrhage in the pelvis, groin, and lower extremities. The AAJT-S has versatility beyond abdominal use. FDA clearance allows applications in the axillary and inguinal junctional sites for up to four hours, making it a critical hemorrhage control tool when seconds matter.

In addition to junctional bleeding, the AAJT-S is approved to stabilize pelvic fractures and has been proven in multiple scientific studies to be equivalent to Zone 3 REBOA, without the need for invasive vascular access. The AAJT-S is lightweight, compact, and easy to apply.

When seconds matter and the bleeding is complex, the AAJT-S delivers proven, adaptable hemorrhage control in places other tourniquets cannot.
