Description

Prototype Tourniquets for The Department of Defense Research On Combat Casualty Care. This is a sources sought, not a request for proposals. The Combat Casualty Care Research Program of the Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC) provides int egrated capabilities for far-forward medical care to reduce mortality and morbidity associated with major battlefield wounds and injuries. The USAMRMC is seeking to test and evaluate novel prototype tourniquets for hemorrhage control on the battlefield. In terested firms will be required to execute no cost loan agreements with the USAMRMC to provide 10 prototype tourniquets for test and evaluation at the United States Army Institute of Surgical Research by July 1, 2004. In return, each firm will be provided the test results on their tourniquet. The tourniquet must meet the following requirements: 1) Complete occlusion of arterial blood flow in a thigh (thigh circumference = 26.7 inches); 2) Easy application to either the upper and lower extremity in less than 1 minute (in a tactical environment) with a minimum of familiarization; 3) Must not slip (towards wound) during tightening or following application; 4) Capable of easy release and re-application; 5) Must be less than 230 grams; 6) No external power requir ement, i.e., batteries; and 7) A self-life of 10 yr. Other features that are desirable, but not required are: 1) No less than 2 inches in width; 2) One-handed, self-application to upper extremity; 3) Capability to apply to trapped limbs; 4) Protection from over-tightening; and 5) Have a predicted cost for large scale production not to exceed $25/unit. No tourniquet equal to or less than 1 inch in width will be considered. Efficacy as well as overall size, weight, and cost will be major considerations. The G overnment has limited resources, so only the most qualified products may be tested. The Government is under no obligation to issue loan agreements for products that do not meet the stated requirements. A letter of intent expressing your interest and provid ing a detailed description of the product to be offered must be e-mailed to Cheryl Miles at cheryl.miles@amedd.army.mil not later than April 15,2004.
