TCCC/EMS Cut Suit
Descripción
The main goals of Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC/EMS) are to treat the casualty, prevent additional casualties, and complete the mission. The TCCC Cut Suit is specially suited to accomplish these goals in training. Firstly, it allows medical providers to treat the three primary causes of death on the battlefield on a real human casualty; uncontrollable hemorrhage (*with a blood distribution system), airway compromise, and tension pneumothorax. Secondly, it has a streamlined frame with a minimal wearer profile to increase the Hyper-Realism™ of any training scenario. Finally, the unit is completely user-customizable and user-repairable, minimizing costly repairs and long term reoccurring costs.
