Uncontrolled hemorrhage remains one of the leading causes of preventable death in trauma care, particularly when bleeding occurs in areas not amenable to standard limb tourniquets.¹

The Abdominal Aortic and Junctional Tourniquet-Stabilized (AAJT-S) from Compression Works was developed to address these critical gaps in hemorrhage control.

Hemorrhage Control Where Standard Tourniquets Cannot Be Applied

NEW The AAJT-S is FDA-cleared for four application sites: abdominal (equivalent to Zone 3 REBOA), axilla, inguinal area, and for the immobilization of pelvic fractures. Its is the only external device cleared for abdominal aortic compression at or near the bifurcation, providing a non-invasive alternative to zone 3 REBOA without requiring surgical access or imaging.

The AAJT-S has four cleared applications:

1. Abdominal Application – Controls pelvic, groin, and lower extremity hemorrhage.
2. Inguinal Application – Controls hemorrhage in the inguinal region where limb tourniquets are ineffective.
3. Axillary Application – Controls hemorrhage in the axillary region.
4. Pelvic Stabilization – Provides mechanical stabilization of pelvic fractures.

Key Benefits

• One device. Four life-saving applications
