Field tested design

The tourniquet we manufacture is based on our partner Glia's open source design. This tourniquet has been successfully deployed in multiple crisis zones since 2017. We started our limited production in 2024, and continue to ramp up in 2025. Our tourniquets have ended up in the hands of crisis zone medical workers in the Middle East, Africa, and the US.

Meets or exceeds all regulations and standards

Tourniquet are manufactured by our worker's collective in an FDA-registered facility in Tucson, AZ and meet or exceed all available regulations, including ANSI/OSHA requirements.

Rigorous quality control

Under the guidance of a medical device industry veteran, we use the "quality at the source" methodology. Work is inspected at 15 stages throughout manufacturing and a full inspection is performed at the end. Along the way, we document nonconformance reports using Global Distributed Tracking.

Reliable performance

Testing results show a sub 2% material failure with no critical failures— meaning no loss of compression or failure to compress adequately. Our devices are rigorously tested against commercial tourniquets and scientifically proven to be as safe or safer than the leading brands.

Scientific testing with purpose-build hardware

From each manufactured lot, we randomly select tourniquets (at AQL 6.5) to destructively test using a simulated limb (based on the University of Western Ontario's open source design ). The resulting pressure data (in mmHg) allows us to directly compare the compressive force against commercial tourniquets, as shown in the chart below:
