Customer Quotes:
“I’ve served in the Marines, EMS and now the private sector, but what I’ve learned is that the opportunity to be of service in a life-threatening situation can present itself to anyone at any time. You can’t be just a bystander, you have to be ready to take action. This is why I believe in products like the SAM XT. It’s one of the fastest – if not the fastest – self-aid tourniquets out there. It’s so easy to use that it even helps take away anxiety from a situation that would otherwise be extremely overwhelming.” – Ian Six, EMT at Marion County Rescue Squad
“The SAM XT had an impressive application speed and was extremely efficient in the control of massive hemorrhage. You could actually see the bleeding diminishing within seconds.” – Eddy Vershilovsky, Emergency Medicine Specialist
“The main issue people have when applying a tourniquet is making sure it’s tight enough. With the growing population of younger people having to deal with severe bleeding-related injuries, an emergency medical device needs to be quick and easy. That’s what the SAM XT brings us. It’s so simple, even my daughter at three years old could use it. The pull and click method is genius. Once you hear and feel the click, you know it’s time to start turning the windless.” – Kris Tomes, USAF Pararescueman in the Special Operations
