Turn-I-Kit
Value Proposition
The Weil Institute and Precision Trauma have re-imagined the tourniquet for use by civilians and civilian emergency care providers. Called “Turn-I-Kit”, this device’s unique tightening mechanism utilizes a significantly wider tourniquet band to distribute the force applied over a wider area, reducing discomfort. At the same time, the compound screw mechanism delivers greater pressure, faster to stop bleeding. The Turn-I Kit can easily be self applied with one hand and is simple for first responders to safely apply. To help save lives, Turn-I-Kit puts the power of bleeding control in everyone’s hands.
