The DNIPRO Tactical Medical Tourniquet (TMT) is a windlass operated tourniquet for stopping severe haemorrhage via circumferential application around a limb, occluding blood flow distally from the point of application.
Having been forged in Ukraine during the modern Russo-Ukrainian conflict, DNIPRO TMTs have been supplied extensively to Ukrainian forces. With a list of unique features that sets it apart from the market, the DNIPRO is arguably the most successful tourniquet in modern conflict.
Features:
Comfortable and reliable in use, with or without gloves. Made of Aluminum alloy – Duralumin. Independently tested in Australia and stronger than then alternative windlass tourniquets.
Completely closes and securely holds across the gate. Perforated hole in tab allows you to quickly find the edge of the velcro by touch
It is extremely tensile and tear-resistant, but has a light stroke when the gate is rotated.
Increased strength in the backplate material and design yet malleable to conform or bend to limbs. It securely holds the (reinforced) windlass retention gate. These features improve on known failure points in other models whilst ensuring the tourniquet remains flexible to conform to limbs of different sizes.
Extra padding to the sections between backplate and routing buckle, reducing pressure points and protecting body tissue on the limbs from pinching, increasing efficacy and reducing harm.
Convenient and reliable in operation, curved to increase efficacy and negate trauma to the underlying tissues, provides fast belt threading and will survive extremes in heat, cold, ultraviolet light, and marine environments greater than plastic.
Saw-tooth design to adequately grasp and lock the strap on application of first ‘bite’. Assists in reduced need in functioning windlass operation.
The outer belt does not interfere with the rotation of the gate on the platform and the twisting of the inner belt whilst additionally reinforcing the platform from below.
The DNIPRO is a 100% Ukrainian product and arguably the most successful modern tourniquet, having proven its worth through the Russo-Ukrainian war. With casualties in the hundreds of thousands, almost every Ukrainian fighter can testify to the efficacy of the DNIPRO TMT. The DNIPRO TMT stands to be the most successful tourniquet in modern combat history, if not already.
