Licensing Operations 4 December 2018 SUBJECT: STOP THE BLEED® - SAM Medical
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
The Department of Defense (DoD) is the owner of numerous U.S. and foreign trademark registrations on the words STOP THE BLEED® and associated design. The Defense Media Activity’s Trademark Licensing Office is the proponent agency for all licensing activities associated with the STOP THE BLEED (STB) mark. In coordination with DoD’s Combat Causality Care Research Program, it has the responsibility for ensuring that all licensed STB products meet or exceed DoD’s specifications for quality and functionality.
In accordance with the licensing requirements established by this office, the SAM XT series tourniquets, an FDA Class 1 medical device, were submitted to our medical experts at the Combat Causality Care Research Program for examination. After careful examination, they determined that the SAM TX tourniquets were effective in reducing or stopping severe bleeding when used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and that they met all requirements under the STB product licensing program.
Having successfully passed DoD’s medical examination of their products and after fulfilling all other requirement established by this office, SAM Medical was issued a license use the STOP THE BLEED logo in association with the manufacture and sales of its SAM XT tourniquets. That license remains valid as of the date of this letter.

C.A.T "CAT" vs SAM® XT TOURNIQUET
 |
| SAM® XT TOURNIQUET |
Torniquete de extremidades. Diseño inteligente para una aplicación rápida y precisa. El innovador diseño de SAM XT requiere menos vueltas del molinete al ajustarse con precisión al contorno de la extremidad gracias a la hebilla truforce. Excede las pautas de durabilidad estipuladas por la norma MIL-STD 810G
1 BANDA PARA CONTROLAR LA HORA DE APLICACIÓN
El velcro mantiene su funcionalidad cuando está totalmente sumergido, proporcionando la máxima seguridad con la climatología más adversa. El material exterior está optimizado para la visión nocturna.
2 GANCHO EN C DEL MOLINETE
Fija la posición de la varilla metálica del molinete gracias a su intuitivo diseño en ángulo, por lo que el molinete se puede fijar en su sitio de forma más fácil y eficiente.
3 PLACA TRUFLEXTM
Fabricada en nailon, es altamente resistente y duradera. Diseñada para dirigir la fuerza ejercida con la máxima flexibilidad, adaptándose en extremidades más pequeñas sin romperse.
4 HEBILLA TRUFORCETM
La innovadora tecnología de auto-bloqueo se activa al aplicar una fuerza de 98 newtons, eliminando la holgura que se encuentra habitualmente en otras aplicaciones de torniquete.
5 VARILLA METÁLICA DEL MOLINETE
Mecanizada a partir de barras extruidas de auténtico aluminio 6061-T6 resistente y ligero para una fiabilidad constante en comparación con los compuestos de plástico.
6 CINTAS DE PRECISIÓN
El sistema de orificios a intervalos hecho de malla de una sola capa, 100 % nailon, se auto-bloquea con la hebilla TRUFORCETM para aumentar la resistencia cuando se aplica en las condiciones más duras.
7 LENGÜETA DE PRECISIÓN
Su diseño intuitivo permite una aplicación más rápida y más fácil del torniquete. El material está optimizado para la visión nocturna.
