It is indicated for patients with a systolic blood pressure of less than 80 mm Hg caused by hemodynamic shock or circulatory arrest

• HemaShock® as a transfusion device
• In a patient suffering from shock due to blood loss, HemaShock acts as an automatic transfusion device. The blood from the extremities wrapped with HemaShock is diverted to the vital organs.
• HemaShock® as a tourniquet
• If there is a bleeding leg injury, first place HemaShock® on the injured leg. HemaShock® serves as a TOURNIQUET when it is rolled up higher than the injury.
• After HemaShock® has been positioned, the stocking-like mesh can be cut off above the injury. This ensures improved and blood-free access to the injury and better anatomical visibility.
• If the leg is fractured and unstable, apply axial traction. Pull the foot distally while rolling HemaShock® upwards.
• HemaShock® should not be left on an extremity for more than 120 minutes.
• The exact time of application of the HemaShock® should be noted on the label(s) provided and clearly marked on the appropriate limb(s).

• HemaShock® consists of a tight silicone ring that can be securely rolled onto the corresponding extremities using the integrated drawstrings.
• HemaShock® cannot be removed accidentally.
• Removal of HemaShock®
  • The HemaShock® should be unrolled manually in small steps to prevent a sudden drop in blood pressure.
  • The patient’s blood pressure should be measured after each step.
  • If the blood pressure falls below 80 mm Hg or other symptoms of hemodynamic instability (e.g. excessive tachycardia, cognitive deficits) occur, the HemaShock® should be rolled up again using the integrated pull straps.

• The HemaShock® is easy to use, requires minimal instruction and can also be used by people without a medical background.
  • HemaShock is placed over the foot or hand and rolled over the limb using the integrated drawstring mechanism.
• Compared to other anti-shock garments, HemaShock® is
  • Space-saving (HemaShock set of two weighs 0.32 kg)
  • Intended for single use
  • Not affected by atmospheric pressure or temperature fluctuations
  • Cost effective

• HemaShock® can be rolled over the leg by a paramedic in about 30 seconds. This procedure can also be carried out during transportation in an ambulance.
• Tip: Take off the shoes beforehand. It is not necessary to take off pants.
