Blackhawk Warrior Wear combat uniforms feature integrated tourniquets
September 7, 2007 – 8:29 amFiled under: Wearables
We’ve seen some incredibly high-tech approaches to better-equipping our soldiers in the battlefield, but Blackhawk Products Group is trying to save lives with a more back-to-basics approach — by integrating tourniquets directly into their Warrior Wear line of battlefield clothing. According to the company, most preventable combat deaths occur due to blood loss from arm and leg wounds, and Blackhawk’s system should make it easy to locate and apply a tourniquet in a short amount of time. Blackhawk is planning on licensing the tech to other military suppliers, so hopefully we’ll be seeing the system pop up for all our troops soon.
