Head Tourniquet
The tournicap is the only product of its kind that has the capability of simultaneously applying pressure to the bleeding site on the head, providing heat to the wound, and preventing third factor-acidosis that would otherwise be associated with hemorrhaging. This unprecedented product is uniquely designed with a tournicap made of a white impregnated kaolin gauze that works hand-in-hand with a boniquet made of plastic possessing inflatable air bladders for infection prevention. Moreover, the tournicap comes in multiple sizes to accommodate all patients and is incredibly easy to apply and secure onto the head to ensure immediate relief.

Methods and devices to reduce damaging effects of concussive or blast forces on a subject
A method and device for reducing the damaging effects of a blast or concussive event includes applying pressure to at least one jugular vein to reduce the egress of blood from the cranial cavity during the incidence of the concussive event. Reducing blood out flow from the cranial cavity increases intracranial pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid to reduce the risk of traumatic brain injury and injuries to the spinal column. Reducing blood out flow further increases the intracranial pressure, and thereby increases the pressure of the cochlear fluid, the vitreous humor and the cerebrospinal fluid to thereby reduce the risk of injury to the inner ear, internal structure of the eye and of the spinal column. In addition, increasing intracranial pressure reduces the likelihood of brain injury and any associated loss of olfactory function.

The present application discloses devices and methods for monitoring the performance of a hemostasis device during a hemostatic procedure.
HEMOSTASIS DEVICES AND METHODS OF USE
A hemostasis device configured to apply a compressive force to a puncture site of a patient's vessel, such as an artery of the foot, is disclosed. The hemostasis device may include a compression member having a plurality of tabs and an inflatable bladder. A plurality of bands may be used to position and maintain the compression member over the puncture site until hemostasis is achieved are releasably coupled to the plurality of tabs. A first band can wrap around the ankle, a second band can wrap around the foot, and a third band can extend between two toes or around a toe. The hemostasis device may also comprise an inflation port in fluid communication with the inflatable bladder.

Radial Artery Sheath Assembly
A radial artery sheath assembly includes a cuff that is wearable around a patient's wrist and a receiver is integrated into the cuff. The cuff is inflatable to compress an incision in the patient's wrist to achieve homeostasis for stopping bleeding. A ring is removably attachable to the cuff and a radial sheath is extendable through the ring to retain the radial sheath in the incision in the user's wrist when the ring is attached to the cuff. The ring is inflatable for compressing the radial sheath in the ring to inhibit the radial sheath from being removed from the incision. A lock is coupled to the ring and the lock releasably engages the receiver in the cuff for attaching the ring to the cuff.
