Great product, I&#x27;m sure. CAT&#x27;s should be mentioned too, they&#x27;re used on arms and legs and can be applied quickly. Hope I&#x27;ll never have to need one (not serving)<p>&#x27;preventable death&#x27;... Policy and politics has the ability to prevent death by greater numbers even before we feel the need to rupture the aortas of our fellow human beings.<p>I&#x27;m curious, I was told most use cases of tourniques would require subsequent amputation. Is this the case here, as well? Do you amputate the pelvis? What would the life of a soldier look like in the hours, days after he received an injury to the abdomen and being saved by a device like this?

It is undeniable, but of real regret, that many major medical advances are made during wars. Even so, this is fantastic.

If this works as reported, this is truly great. But you know what would save even more lives? If we got the f&amp;ck out of Afghanistan. What are we even doing there? When is this last time a reporter asked the President about the Afghan war and when it will end? The tolerance of the current situation just baffles me.

Black Hawk Down has a scene where the difficulty of containing such injuries is illustrated very graphically: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gixRgsPFR7g" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=gixRgsPFR7g</a><p>It&#x27;s incredibly difficult to stop such bleeding and having such device will undoubtedly save lives on and off battle fields. For example in bad car wrecks.

Huge!! It&#x27;s crazy how something so deceivingly simple took so long to invent.

Unfortunately what works in war doesn&#x27;t necessarily work in peace. We though a couple decades ago that anti-shock garments (basically inflatable pants) save lives after trauma by redirecting blood to the core, but in reality it&#x27;s likely that the practice causes harm, and you just never see them used anymore at all.

As amazing as this is I can&#x27;t help feeling a tinge of horror that it&#x27;s even required.

This could save many people back in the country as well, it would turn out to be impressively useful for car accidents or similar events, every ambulance should be required to carry it imho
