Life-Saving Technology: Stop the Bleed with the Right Equipment

In an arborist's daily work, the margins are narrow. A severe injury can lead to life-threatening bleeding where every second counts. Relying solely on a standard first aid kit is not enough. Arboristbutiken offers specialized equipment designed to quickly stop the bleeding and stabilize an injured person while awaiting professional medical care.

The Tourniquet – Your Most Important Life Line

A tourniquet should be used as a temporary measure to allow for patient transport to surgery. For arterial bleeding, or when the patient's anatomy recommends pressure that is larger and more comprehensive than a standard pressure dressing can provide, a tourniquet is indispensable.

Our tourniquets, such as the SAM XT, are engineered for extreme performance. Unlike simpler models that can be difficult to tighten sufficiently, the SAM XT uses a free-moving internal band that moves independently of the outer sleeve. This technology allows you to apply greater and more comprehensive pressure with significantly less effort.

Application is fast and intuitive:

1. Place the band around the limb and pull the main strap tight.
2. Tighten the windlass until the bleeding stops.
3. The windlass locks easily and securely into the built-in hook. To further secure the windlass during transport, you use a hook-and-loop strap that locks the windlass in place. This ensures that pressure is maintained even during movement.

Hemostatic Dressings – For Difficult-to-Reach Wounds

In situations where it is difficult to use a constricting band, such as injuries in the groin, shoulder, or neck, hemostatic dressings are a critical complement. These dressings are impregnated with an agent that actively accelerates the body's natural clotting process to stop the bleed.

Why Choose Equipment from Arboristbutiken?
