TO CONTROL DIFFICULT BLEEDS
IN THE INGUINAL AREA
Slide the belt underneath the patient, positioning the Target Compression
Device (TCD) over the area to be compressed. Use sterile gauze or hemostatic
dressing if targeting directly over a wound. For bi-lateral application, use a
second TCD.
Hold the TCD in place and connect the belt using the buckle.
Pull the BROWN HANDLES away from each other until the buckle secures. You
will hear an audible click. Fasten excess belt in place by pressing it down on
the Velcro. You may hear a second click once the belt is secure.
4.
Use the hand pump to inflate the TCD until hemorrhage stops. Monitor patient
during transport for hemorrhage control and adjust the device if necessary.
TO REMOVE, unbuckle the belt.

Connect the auxiliary strap to the cord on the back of the SJT using the small
clip, as close as possible to the patient's mid-line.
Tighten the strap as much as possible using the BROWN HANDLE.
Use the hand pump to inflate the TCD until hemorrhage stops. Monitor patient
during transport for hemorrhage control and adjust the device if necessary.
TO REMOVE, unbuckle the belt.
