Concern Radio-Electronic Technologies has developed and started pilot production of domestic ZHUK-1 tourniquet designed to rescue wounded soldiers in combat and emergency conditions. This was announced to news media by Aleksey Melnikov, Director of Civil Product and National Project Development of KRET, at the Biotechmed-2023 forum in Sochi.
“Our product is made from high-quality domestic materials and may substitute foreign counterparts. A batch of ZHUK-1 tourniquets was delivered to volunteers for testing in the special military operation zone. We have received positive feedback from special military operation participants and medical personnel. Now we are collecting the feedback in order to further improve the ZHUK to the highest standard,” he said.
ZHUK general-purpose tourniquet is designed to stop upper and lower extremity hemorrhage. Easy-to-use – the tourniquet can be easily applied with one hand and is suitable for self-help. The tourniquet is an effective way to stop bleeding even when it is applied above winter clothing.
The annual Biotechmed forum is held in Sochi from 9 to 10 September. The forum is an authoritative federal platform where the professional and expert community can work out coordinated solutions for pharma, biotechnology and healthcare improvement.
