X8T was researched and developed by a tactical physician and mechanical engineer with input from soldiers, law enforcement, and medical professionals.
The challenge they saw with traditional tourniquets is the time involved and the motor skills necessary during application. Complex physical motor skills become less available and effective during trauma and under high stress. Unlike current tourniquets, X8T integrates a patented MED™ (Maximum Efficiency Dial™) Technology requiring no medical experience or training.
