Market Wire, June, 2008
About MAT®
The MAT® tourniquet provides proven superior performance in terms of occlusion efficiency (cessation of blood loss), speed of application, and ease of use. MAT® consistently provides complete occlusion in about 50 seconds making it the most versatile and efficient tourniquet in the industry. It is the only tourniquet that meets all of the US DOD performance requirements, and provides proven and effective one-handed operation. MAT® has undergone rigorous testing by US military medical teams. The tests indicate that MAT® provides consistent superior occlusion efficacy, speed of application, ease of use and modulated constriction, which saves lives and limbs. MAT® is designed to be self-administered and is intended for use by individual soldiers and civilians, as well as medical personnel.
Initially developed for the US DOD, MAT® has been adopted by emergency first responders and law-enforcement agencies around the world. MAT's design won the IDSA's Gold Award for Best Medical Product Design of 2006 and has subsequently become a finalist in the highly prestigious INDEX Award 2007 for best medical product in the world in the last two years.
