HapMed Tourniquet Trainer from CHI Systems, Inc.
“This system makes tourniquet training real! Its real-time feedback system helps providers learn how important it is to increase application pressure and understand the consequences of incomplete application.”
The HapMed Tourniquet Trainer is the closest thing to practicing tourniquet application on a live patient. When first responders feel the actual torque required to stanch bleeding from an extremity wound, they gain an understanding of the difficulty of the skill, and the experience and confidence to stop the bleeding during a real-life emergency.
A well-practiced skill such as tourniquet application may require tens or hundreds of training trials, but there are few existing opportunities to get extensive hands-on practice. HapMed’s unique hands-on training approach allows first responders to repeatedly practice proper use of a tourniquet until the skill is mastered.
The system features an instrumented manikin leg amputated at the knee with an illuminated wound site, instead of liquid blood, to simulate bleeding. As the tourniquet is tightened, the lights go out to show blood flow is reduced. This design provides the benefit of no messy cleanup after each trial. Performance feedback on tourniquet position, tourniquet pressure, elapsed time, patient health status and blood loss is displayed on the built-in touch screen.
Tourniquet application varies depending on the patient’s size and the situation. HapMed trains first responders to effectively perform this lifesaving procedure on different body types and in different situations. The system includes seven built-in training scenarios that progress the trainee through increasing levels of difficulty. Scenarios include standard and ‘high and tight’ placement for providing care in both safe and dangerous situations. A two-tourniquet scenario is also built-in, as well as the ability for the instructor to create and save custom scenarios.
In addition to the integrated touch screen controls, which allow the device to be used on a stand-alone basis, the system can be controlled via a mobile device using the HapMed app for Android. For more information, e-mail hapmed@chisystems.com.
Max Life Clinic Cases
“This product and those that will follow are the future of EMS and will play a major part in our evolution into a mobile, integrated and patient satisfaction-centered operating environment. This product delivers the patient to the appropriate clinician without moving an inch and is the way of the future.”
What makes Max Life Clinic Cases new and innovative is the inclusion of live-streaming video, audio and diagnostic devices from a patient’s home or remote location to a hospital or clinic.
Live streaming is done through a wireless data connection that can still stream perfectly even while on low bandwidths or in areas where cellular service is poor. This can allow rural patients access to the care of hospital physicians and specialists who could be hundreds of miles away, yet still able to see, hear, diagnose and treat the patient.

E-Z O2 Lift from Braun Industries, Inc.
“Innovative, robust design combining ease of use, safer O2 exchange and increased storage space in a design without the need for electric power with reduced moving parts.”
The latest innovation from Braun Industries is the E-Z O2 Lift, a compact oxygen cylinder lift and storage compartment. While an oxygen lift is not a revolutionary idea in the EMS industry, Braun engineers spent much time evaluating the current market options and improving on them for the design and release of the E-Z O2 Lift. This built-in hydraulic cylinder lift offers a smaller footprint than traditional lifts. It is also less cumbersome than an electric scissor lift option.
The E-Z O2 Lift utilizes a nitrogen-filled gas spring to raise and lower the oxygen bottle into a stowed position without electrical components, eliminating work safety hazards and back injuries associated with lifting heavy oxygen bottles. It also protects your module by reducing damage to the ambulance compartment, as the tank carefully moves in and out of the box. The E-Z O2 Lift also frees up space by storing the bottle in the compartment door to maximize the storage area for lifesaving equipment.
The E-Z O2 Lift is available for integration into all Braun ambulance models. Departments concerned about the forthcoming SAE, CAAS and NFPA 1917 ambulance standards are encouraged to include the E-Z O2 Lift option in their next emergency vehicle design and purchase.
