Compression Works teams up with Leleka Foundation to provide critical medical supplies, aiming to make a lifesaving difference amid ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA, UNITED STATES, September 12, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- Compression Works, a leading provider of life-saving medical solutions, is delighted to announce its ongoing commitment to humanitarian aid through its partnership with the Leleka Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to procuring emergency trauma supplies and first aid kits for Ukraine's defenders and civilians.In the face of ongoing conflict and increasing casualties in Ukraine, Compression Works has donated AAJT-S junctional tourniquets to assist in training facilities, and ultimately, to aid medics and surgeons treating wounded Ukrainian soldiers and civilians. These innovative devices have already made a significant impact in saving lives on the battlefield.
To date, hundreds of AAJT-S junctional tourniquets have been deployed in Ukraine, underscoring the critical need for continued support as the conflict persists. One recent incident vividly illustrated the life-saving capability of these tourniquets: a Ukrainian soldier serving on the front line with a combat unit sustained severe wounds to his lower extremities during an artillery bombardment. Bleeding profusely from multiple wounds, the soldier's life hung in the balance. The AAJT-S was used to control bleeding in the pelvis and lower extremities. The surgeon treating the casualty stated, "Today, there was a case using the AAJT-S device. This gave us time to determine the source of the bleeding. Branches of the femoral artery and femoral vein were severely damaged. The bleeding was so intense that the exact location of the damage could only be determined after using the device." Thanks to this innovative technology, the surgeons were able to provide the necessary care, and the soldier survived his injuries.
"Compression Works is humbled and honored to be a part of this incredible story, delivering groundbreaking medical solutions that make a difference where it matters most," said Scott Dodson, President and CEO of Compression Works, Inc. "Our mission is to provide life-saving bleeding control solutions, with an unwavering commitment to saving lives wherever injuries occur. Every time one of our devices is used, we have the potential to save a life,” Dodson added.
Since the invasion, over 17,000 first aid kits have been distributed to Ukrainian defenders, and more than 1,500 fully equipped medical packs have been delivered to medical professionals treating the wounded in this conflict, according to Ivan Vidyakin, Co-Founder of The Leleka Foundation. "We are a completely volunteer organization, so 99% of your donations go towards saving lives in Ukraine. Please help us make a difference by giving to this urgent cause. Every dollar matters in our fight for freedom," Vidyakin emphasized.
