About Our Company

Our team discovered a widespread gap in trauma care: despite training, over 80% of users fail to apply traditional tourniquets effectively in a crisis.

While life-saving in expert hands, traditional tools often fail the average bystander. We exist to empower, educate, and equip any willing person to help in an emergency.

16% Success rate for first-time users with traditional tourniquets.
92% Success rate for first-time AutoTQ users.

It all started with a simple question: "Why are tourniquets so hard for me to use?"

Driven by the need for a more intuitive solution, we developed the world’s first automated tourniquet. We shared our journey on Good Morning America to show how we are empowering anyone to act in a crisis.

Our mission is to equip, empower, and educate any bystander willing to help in an emergency with the power to do so.

We exist to stop preventable deaths from blood loss. We are primarily driven by a desire to serve our customers by inventing devices that equip heroes to intervene and stop a crisis in its tracks.

We are equally driven to serve one another—fostering an environment where innovation is preceded by experimentation, failure, and creative risk. We commit to respect, challenge, and build each other up.

We are determined, with the help of God’s grace, to fulfill these commitments to the best of our ability.

Empower immediate response.
