Scotland Patent of the Month – May 2025

A groundbreaking medical device promises to transform emergency hemorrhage management. U.S. Patent No. 12295588, titled ‘Adaptable partial circumferential tourniquet’, introduces a versatile solution for controlling severe bleeding in hard-to-reach areas. Developed by Compression Works LLC, this innovation addresses a critical need in trauma care.

Innovative Design for Life-Saving Application

Unlike traditional tourniquets, this device features segmented arms and a V-shaped inflatable bladder. The arms adjust to form a semi-circumferential enclosure, allowing targeted pressure application to various body regions. The integrated cable and ratchet system ensures secure placement, while the inflatable bladder exerts precise compression to halt blood flow. This design enables medical personnel to manage hemorrhages in areas previously challenging to treat effectively.

Enhancing Emergency Response Capabilities

The tourniquet’s adaptable structure allows for rapid deployment in diverse scenarios, from battlefield injuries to civilian emergencies. Its compact form and ease of use make it a valuable addition to medical kits for military, EMS, and trauma centers. By facilitating prompt and effective hemorrhage control, this device has the potential to significantly improve survival rates in critical situations.

Advancing Trauma Care Standards

The introduction of this adaptable tourniquet underscores Compression Works LLC‘s commitment to innovation in medical technology. By addressing the limitations of existing hemorrhage control methods, this patent represents a significant step forward in trauma care. As adoption grows, it may set new standards for emergency medical response and patient outcomes.

For the past four years they have helped my company navigate the process of research and development incentives offered by the Federal Government.  This has been the single most important relationship we have had in financially supporting our journey as a start up.  I can't recommend this organisation highly enough.
