Bleeding Trainer Arms
The bleeding trainer arms, developed by R&D Medical, are a critical component of the Campus Stop the Bleed Safety Program. Designed with precision and realism, these training devices simulate various wound profiles, providing handson familiarity with life-saving medical techniques. Each arm features interchangeable wound inserts that allow users to practice gauze packing, tourniquet application, and pressure bandage use, effectively preparing faculty and staff for realworld scenarios.
Additionally, the arms are paired with TAK710T Trainer tourniquets, enabling comprehensive, scenariobased practice. These durable, high-quality devices are instrumental in bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, making them an essential part of the program’s ecosystem.

Features and Benefits of the Campus Stop the Bleed Safety Program
Annual Maintenance Program
- Automated 911 Alert System
When the alarmed response box is opened, it automatically places a 911 call with a pre-recorded message
detailing the nature of the emergency. This message includes the precise physical location of the box,
enabling responders to quickly find the affected area. - Mass Notification Capabilities
Within 1.8 seconds of opening the box, the system sends up to 300 emails or text messages to pre-designated
recipients, such as local EMS, police, fire departments, and government officials. These notifications ensure
simultaneous alerts to all relevant parties. - Live Camera and Audio Feed
Each box is equipped with a high-resolution camera and microphone, providing a live video feed or periodic
still images to first responders. This situational awareness enables better decision-making during critical
moments. - Discriminatory Alarm Technology
To prevent redundancy, the system ensures that only the first opened box places a 911 call and sends mass notifications. Subsequent boxes remain operational but do not send duplicate alerts, focusing instead on GPS tracking and situational awareness. - Integrated GPS Tracking
Each TAK710 tourniquet features a GPS tracker that activates when removed from the box. This allows emergency responders to locate injured individuals quickly, even in complex or chaotic environments. - TAK710 Automatic Tourniquet
The TAK710 applies a tourniquet in just 12 seconds with no medical training required. Its one-button design enables rapid application: users can slide it onto a limb, cinch it down, and press the button to activate. Even an 8-year-old child can confidently use this device, making it accessible for all. - Familiarity Training Program
While the TAK710 requires no medical training, our faculty training program ensures teachers and staff are fully prepared. Students and employees receive familiarity training to understand what is in the box, where supplies are located, and how to use the TAK710 tourniquet effectively. The focus is on familiarization rather than intensive medical instruction. - Comprehensive Stop-the-Bleed Supplies
In addition to the TAK710 tourniquet, the boxes contain essential medical supplies for non-extremity wounds. These include Israeli pressure bandages, gauze, compression dressings, blood clotting agents, and chest seals. All items are strategically organized for easy access. - Scenario-Based Training and Policy Development
Urban Defense has a proven history of conducting realistic scenario-based training for both large and small organizations. These exercises help identify gaps or vulnerabilities in existing protocols while providing valuable insights to aid in policy development and improvement. - Customizable Emergency Features

Urban Defense works directly with local EMS professionals to coordinate an effective response during critical incidents. Our system is fully adaptable to align with your area’s specific response protocols, ensuring seamless integration and enhanced preparedness. - Annual Maintenance Program
Urban Defense provides an annual maintenance Program to ensure the system remains fully functional. This includes inspecting boxes, replacing supplies, updating software, and refreshing training materials. The maintenance program is designed to keep the system operational and effective for years to come.
