Initially developed for the U.S. Department of Defense as the MAT®, E-MAT™ is now available for the Emergency Medical Service (EMS) market with its new, bright, safety orange color. Providing quick visual confirmation that a tourniquet is in place, E-MAT™ has all the same award-winning features as the MAT®.

The E-MAT™ Tourniquet from Pyng is a versatile and efficient tourniquet, providing fast application and simple and effective one-handed operation. Stops blood loss with complete occlusion in about 30 seconds. It is lightweight, compact and easy to recognize in a medical  bag.

In three independent studies by the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps that compared tourniquet products and methodologies, MAT® performance was ranked first for stopping blood flow, the primary clinical outcome a tourniquet is supposed to deliver.

MAT® won the IDSA’s Gold Award for Best Medical Product Design of 2006 and received silver for Design of a Decade in 2010. In 2007, MAT® was also a finalist for the highly prestigious INDEX Award for best medical product in the world.
