Safe Removal Steps

DO NOT CUT TO REMOVE

Cutting the AAJT-S prematurely can resume bleeding and cause loss of hemorrhage control. Only remove when a trauma team is present.

1

Deflate the bladder

Twist the valve counterclockwise to deflate the bladder and release all excess air.

2

Release the strap

Lift and release the black pull tab, then remove the ladder strap.

SINGLE-USE DEVICE

The AAJT-S is a single-use device and should remain in place until the patient reaches definitive care. If needed, you may re-engage the ladder strap and re-inflate the bladder to maintain bleeding control.
