£924.00 inc VAT
The Hema-T™ is an innovative tourniquet designed to prevent life-threatening blood loss from open wounds to the arms or legs. Developed using proven HemaClear® technology, Hema-T brings powerful bleeding control into the hands of anyone — no clinical training required.
Whether self-applied or used by a caregiver, the Hema-T can be deployed in under a minute. Its intuitive design ensures effortless application even under stress. In cases of unstable limb injuries (such as fractures), two caregivers can safely apply the device with axial traction.

Designed for rapid action
Each Hema-T comes with a yellow time sticker to document the moment of application — a critical step in emergency bleeding management. The tourniquet can remain in place for up to two hours. If evacuation requires a longer duration, the Hema-T can be temporarily rolled down while manual pressure is applied to the wound, and then reapplied after 10 minutes.
Placement is straightforward:
-
Upper limb: No need to remove clothing — apply over the sleeve.
-
Lower limb: The shoe must be removed, but trousers can remain in place.
The Hema-T is not a sterile device but is suitable for emergency first aid and pre-hospital care.
Proven in the field
Already, 1,100 Hema-T units have been supplied to an NGO assembling personal first aid kits for civilians in Israel — helping to equip the public with essential tools to manage traumatic bleeding in critical situations.

HEMA-T TOURNIQUET APPLICATION AND REMOVAL
The Hema-T™ tourniquet is designed to stop bleeding in a limb (hand or leg) from an open wound. It is simple to use and can be worn by yourself. The tourniquet can be left on the arm for up to two hours.
If the blood flow has not stopped, please remove the tourniquet.
Contraindications: deep vein thrombosis.
Self-application on the upper limb
Pinch the fingers of the injured arm together, place the tourniquet around the fingers, and push slightly just to insert it around the fingers.
Now, pull the device up to the arm by pulling on the straps only. Do not pull it outward, but close to the arm, upwards. Pull up to the highest point on the arm.
Pay attention to the time you finished wearing the tourniquet and write it down on the yellow sticker provided in the pouch. Stick it on a visible area of your body.
In the case of a bone fracture, a second person is needed to assist in the application.
Even if the wound is close to the wrist, the tourniquet must reach the highest possible point on the arm.
Wait a minute or two and check that the blood flow stops, there is no blood loss, and the hand turns white (it's easier to check by comparing the hands/fingers with the other hand).
Self-application on the lower limb
Remove the shoe of the injured leg. Place the tourniquet around the toes of the injured leg. Note that the handles should be towards the upper and lower part of the sole. Push a little just to get it around the fingers.
Now, using only the straps, pull the device up the leg. Do not pull the straps outwards, but only close to the leg, upwards. The tourniquet can be placed 15 cm from the ankle or on the highest possible point on the thigh preferably near the groin.
Pay attention to the time you finished wearing the tourniquet and write it down on the yellow sticker provided in the pouch. Stick it on the visible area of your body.
In the case of a bone fracture, a second person is needed to assist in the application.
Wait a minute or two and check that the blood flow stops, there is no blood loss, and the hand turns white (it's easier to check by comparing the hands/fingers with the other foot).
Upper limb application by another person
Pinch the fingers of the injured arm, place the tourniquet around the fingers, and push slightly just to insert it around the fingers.
Now, pull the device up to the arm by pulling on the straps. Do not pull it outward, but close to her arm, upwards. Pull up to the highest point on the arm.
Pay attention to the time you finished wearing the tourniquet and write it down on the yellow sticker provided in the pouch. Stick it on the visible area of the body of the injured person.
In the case of a bone fracture second person should apply axial traction.
Even if the wound is close to the wrist, the tourniquet must reach the highest possible point on her arm.
Lower limb application by another person
Remove the shoe of the injured leg. Place the tourniquet around the toes of the injured leg. Note that the handles should be towards the upper and lower part of the sole. Push a little just to get it around the fingers.
Now, using only the straps, pull the device up the leg. Do not pull the straps outwards, but only close to the leg, upwards. The tourniquet can be placed 15 cm from the ankle or on the highest possible point on the thigh preferably near the groin.

HEMA-T REMOVAL
To temporarily remove Hema-T after 2 hours and prior to surgical repair of the injury, apply manual pressure to the bleeding site. Then roll down the Hema-T ring over the injury. Keep the manual pressure on for 10 minutes and then re-roll the Hema-T up the limb and over the bleeding site. This can be repeated every two hours.
For surgical repair, cut a window in the fabric over the wound, disinfect and suture/ligate, and apply a compressive dressing. Note: Hema-T is not a sterile device.
