TRUFORCE BUCKLE TECHNOLOGY
Slack is the main cause of failed tourniquet application. SAM XT’s TRUFORCE™ Buckle technology auto-locks at a predetermined amount of circumferential force, eliminating nearly all tourniquet slack. Simply CLICK, TWIST, and SECURE for a life-preserving tourniquet application.
PROVEN TO SURVIVE
SAM XT’s innovative design requires fewer adjustments and decreases application variation through consistent anticipation of windlass turns. Explore below to learn more about the TRUFLEX™ Plate, Windlass Rod, Time Band, and Precision Strap and how the design supports intuitive use. The SAM XT tourniquet is now available in metal and polymer windlass and three different colors.

Weather-resistant hook and loop system allows for easy recording time of application.
Secures the Windlass Rod using an intuitive angular design, making windlass locking easier and more efficient.
Durable nylon construction distributes force as targeted pressure for maximum strength and flexibility, able to bend on smaller extremities without breaking.
Injection molded from strong, lightweight, heat and UV stable High Impact Polymer.
Innovative auto-lock technology activates locking prongs, eliminating slack typically found in other tourniquet applications.
Intuitive design allows for quicker, easier tourniquet application. Material is highly visible in low-light situations.
Velcro-dependent tourniquets can fail when wet or dirty. The all-weather Precision Strap is made of single-layer nylon webbing. It features intervaled holes that lock with the TRUFORCE™ Buckle to create a consistent, efficient primary security system. The secondary hook and loop system secures the remaining strap, adding stability and safety.
Locate the site of injury** and place the SAM® XT around the limb, directly onto the skin 2–3 inches (5–7 cm) above the wound.
Insert the tip of the strap through the opening in the buckle. Grip the strap close to the buckle and pull hard and steady until the buckle prongs deploy through holes in the belt, securing the belt. When possible, press any excess strap back upon itself, maintaining tension, to hold it in place. DO NOT COVER WINDLASS C-HOOKS.
Twist the windlass rod until the bleeding has stopped.
Fix the windlass rod inside the Windlass C-hooks and confirm that bleeding has stopped. If bleeding continues, try to further tighten the tourniquet with additional twists of the windlass rod. If this fails to stop the bleeding, apply a second SAM® XT side by side next to the first and ensure bleeding has stopped.
Wrap any excess strap between Windlass C-hooks, over rod and around the limb. Secure the (⌚) Time Band over Windlass C-hooks and record time of application.
