SAM XT Civilian Tourniquet
The SAM XT civilian tourniquet is designed and engineered for rapid application requiring fewer windlass turns for faster deployment on catastrophic limb bleeding. Optimised for civilian first responders, workplace deployment, and public access bleed control, the SAM XT reduces the training time needed for effective tourniquet application compared to military-specification devices.
Regulatory Compliance
Compliance Summary: The SAM XT is a medical device for emergency limb haemorrhage control. Tourniquet application training is mandatory before deployment. Incorrect application can cause tissue damage, nerve injury, or fail to achieve arterial occlusion.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does civilian optimised mean?
The SAM XT is designed for civilian responders who may apply a tourniquet less frequently than military personnel. The mechanism requires fewer turns and less force to achieve arterial occlusion, making it more accessible to workplace first aiders and community responders who maintain their skills through periodic training rather than daily operational use.
How quickly can the SAM XT be applied?
A trained responder can apply the SAM XT in under 30 seconds. The reduced number of windlass turns needed for arterial occlusion saves critical seconds compared to tourniquets requiring more rotations. Speed of application is a key factor in survival outcomes for catastrophic limb bleeding.
