Equip Your Agency
Emergency medical personnel with access to an AAJT are fully equipped to stop preventable death in patients with severe upper and lower junctional hemorrhage as well as bleeding pelvic fractures. The AAJT is a must-have device for the treatment of penetrating or blunt trauma with difficult to control hemorrhage. And the low cost of the device makes it an affordable — and invaluable — purchase for departments and organizations of any size. If budgetary constraints are an issue — and they can be at times — we have a flexible leasing option available, as well. Compression Works provides in-servicing, training and clinical support for agencies and departments of any size.
