The Abdominal Aortic and Junctional Tourniquet - Stabilized (AAJT-S) is indicated for use to control bleeding in the pelvis, inguinal area, axilla and for pelvic fracture stabilization.

The AAJT-S device is a wedge-shaped bladder that when inflated pushes in on the body Over the target area of application. One of the target areas is the lower abdomen, over the umbilicus, compressing all the structures within, including the descending aorta, to achieve the physiological effects of aortic compression. The other two areas are over the inguinal region or the axilla. In these two areas the region is compressed with the wedge- shaped bladder including the major vasculature that runs through that area.
