HDO Health is a mission-focused, veteran-led medical device company developing innovative technologies to help prevent deaths from uncontrolled bleeding from traumatic wounds by providing a product that is easy to choose, easy to use, and a timesaver to be a lifesaver. Bleeding to death is the leading cause of preventable fatalities, including more than 80% of combat and 40% of civilian fatalities. Of these deaths, 32% are due to uncontrolled bleeding at the torso-appendage junction. Tourniquets are commonly employed to stop uncontrolled bleeding; however, standard extremity tourniquets do not work for torso-appendage injuries. Specialized junctional tourniquets are available but are often not carried, and therefore not utilized, by front-line medical and other personnel due to equipment weight, size, and cube restrictions. Additionally, existing specialized tourniquets require professional training, multi-step assembly, and fine motor movements for effective use.
