Junctional tourniquets for controlling hemorrhage from wounds in adults a review of clinical effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, safety, and guidelines

Until recently, three junctional tourniquet models were available on the market: the Junctional Emergency Treatment Tool (JETT), the SAM Junctional TQ, and the Combat Ready Clamp (CRoC). The Abdominal Aortic & Junctional Tourniquet (AAJT), previously only indicated for truncal use to prevent ing...

520 |a Until recently, three junctional tourniquet models were available on the market: the Junctional Emergency Treatment Tool (JETT), the SAM Junctional TQ, and the Combat Ready Clamp (CRoC). The Abdominal Aortic & Junctional Tourniquet (AAJT), previously only indicated for truncal use to prevent inguinal bleeding, can be now added to this list since it has recently received FDA clearance for junctional use. According to the American Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC), the desirable traits of junctional tourniquets include: effective control of hemorrhage from junctional areas, safety, amenable to battlefield and tactical situations, low weight, low cost, ease of use, speed of application and stability. The introduction and appropriate use of junctional tourniquets has the potential to save many lives. A review of the clinical effectiveness and safety of the various junctional tourniquets on the market, along with the associated guidelines, will inform decisions on the best model to select for pre-hospital control of hemorrhages
