SAM Medical, a leader in the pre-hospital, trauma care market, is pleased to announce the SAM XT Extremity Tourniquet (SAM XT) has been recommended by the U.S. Department of Defense’s Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care (CoTCCC).
Engineered for rapid application, SAM XT’s innovative design normalizes the number of windlass turns needed compared to traditional tourniquets, enabling an easier, faster training of the product and intuitive use.
Slack is the main cause of failed tourniquet application.

SAM XT’s innovative design requires fewer adjustments, decreases application variation between users and patients through consistent anticipation of windlass turns, and enables easier, faster training and intuitive use.
SAM XT’s TRUFORCE™ Buckle technology auto-locks at a predetermined amount of circumferential force, eliminating nearly all tourniquet slack.
Simply click, twist, and secure for a life-preserving tourniquet application.
Think of it like a medical ratchet strap for injuries that’s built with high-quality, durable and weather-resistant materials to MIL-STD 810G specs.
The award-winning SAM XT is also an approved product of the U.S. Department of Defense’s Stop the Bleed program.

“We are very pleased by the CoTCCC’s decision to include the SAM XT in its recommendations of limb tourniquets,” said Randy Reed, President of SAM Medical.
“Independent studies have shown that the SAM XT is an excellent solution in both military and civilian applications for controlling serious limb bleeding.”
“Having only been on the market for two years, we believe this CoTCCC recommendation is yet another testament to the quality of world class and innovative medical devices brought to the market by SAM Medical.”
“Approximately 40 percent of trauma-related deaths are due to bleeding or its consequences, making uncontrolled bleeding the most common cause of preventable death,” added Kyle Sims, Director of New Product Development for SAM Medical.
“By increasing awareness of bleeding control methods and encouraging more citizens to train on a range of bleeding control devices means more people are prepared to take life-saving action.”
“We are honored that the SAM XT- the tourniquet available to protect our soldiers on the battlefield and everyday citizens at home – is being recommended by the CoTCCC.”
