Abstract: A pre-fabricated tourniquet that is easy to apply, that ensures consistent and even circumferential pressure, that is lightweight, that provides standard life saving operation, and that can be utilized in any setting or situation, and related methods are provided. Mechanically constricting tourniquet apparatus and related methods are provided that are comprised of a tourniquet body, a carriage, a torsion bar, a receiver, and a slider. The tourniquet is long enough to encircle a human limb, for example, an arm or leg. The tourniquet apparatus includes several features for preventing or otherwise limiting harm to users and/or damage to the tourniquet apparatus itself.

Abstract: A foldable pelvic binding device and method of use is provided. The device includes a main body divided into a plurality of panels and segments by a grid of living hinges, thereby facilitating movement between stowed and flat configurations. The main body is configured to couple with one or more other main body, as necessary or desired, to create a binding device that is sized for the required application, thereby accommodating a variety of applications in a variety of situations for a variety of body shapes and sizes. By engaging the binding device with a tourniquet, a binding system is created. When not in use, each the main body of the binding device can be moved to the stowable configuration by folding the various panels over each other.

Abstract: Apparatus, methods, and systems for hemorrhage control and pelvic stabilization are provided. The hemorrhage control plate includes a baseplate and a bulbous node extending outwardly. The bulbous node is positioned against a patient's body at a location where pressure is desired. The device is used in connection with a tourniquet to occlude blood flow at a hemorrhage site. The device is configured to attach to the tourniquet.

Abstract: A foldable splint and method of use is provided. The foldable splint includes a main body divided into a plurality of panels and segments by a grid of living hinges. Each panel includes opposed first and second outer segments and a plurality of inner segments extending therebetween. By folding the main body along segment hinges, the splint is moved to a first rigid configuration for securing an appendage in a straight configuration. By further folding the splint at opposed pinch locations, the splint is moved to a second rigid configuration for securing an appendage in a bent configuration. By folding the splint along panel hinges, the splint is moved to a third rigid configuration for securing around an abdomen or pelvis of a user. When not in use, the splint can be moved back to the stowable configuration by folding the various panels over each other.
