Emergency medical personnel with access to an AAJT-S are fully equipped to stop preventable death in patients with severe upper and lower junctional hemorrhage as well as bleeding pelvic fractures. The AAJT-S 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.
