Bleeding is the
#1 preventable cause of death.

In critical moments, time saves lives.

From the moment a tourniquet goes on, time decides survival. Medical Chrono builds TimeAid TQ, which shows elapsed time through color and touch β€” with no power at all β€” restoring the time information missing from every bleeding-control kit.

Why Bleeding Control

Bleeding is the fastest β€” and most preventable β€” death.

#1

Leading cause of preventable death after injury

Core premise of the American College of Surgeons (ACS) β€” hemorrhage

80%

Share of OR deaths within 24h of trauma due to severe blood loss

How to Control Bleeding

Anyone can control bleeding β€” immediately.

Over 5 million people worldwide trained through Stop the Bleed follow one simple idea β€” Alert, find the Bleeding, and Compress. The tourniquet is the key tool of that final step.

A

Alert

Call 911 immediately and ask those nearby for help.

B

Bleeding

Quickly find the life-threatening source of bleeding.

C

Compress

Stop it with direct pressure, hemostatic gauze, and a tourniquet.

The Missing Link

After the tourniquet goes on, the most important information disappears.

TCCC and DD Form 1380 require recording the tourniquet application time β€” it is the basis for reassessment. Yet in darkness, with gloves, under fire, that record is lost while evacuation stretches to 6–7 hours. The missing time becomes lost limbs and lives.

24.6%

Rate of appropriate tourniquet use

Failure to convert within the 2-hour standard is the core problem

Solution Β· TimeAid TQ

No power. Elapsed time, at a glance.

TimeAid TQ attaches to an existing tourniquet and shows how much time has passed through color and touch β€” with no power, battery, or electronics.

01

Attach

Attaches directly onto an existing tourniquet.

02

Activate

Activate it once when the tourniquet is applied.

03

Confirm

Read the elapsed time by color and touch β€” even at night or with gloves.
