Overview

Compression Works develops and manufactures the Abdominal Aortic & Junctional Tourniquet–Stabilized (AAJT-S), a multi-use life‑saving medical device. The AAJT-S is FDA-cleared for four distinct indications and is the only device cleared for abdominal use for pelvic bleeding and bilateral lower leg injuries. It can be used in the axilla and groin to stop junctional hemorrhage, is featured in over 70 peer‑reviewed publications, and has been shown equivalent to Zone 3 REBOA in multiple clinical studies. Compression Works is a veteran‑owned business that manufactures and assembles the AAJT-S in the USA and supplies the U.S. military, trauma centers, rural emergency departments, EMS, and law enforcement. The company completed a $2 million seed‑growth financing and is pursuing a board‑approved oversubscription following an investment from the North Texas Angel Network. Proceeds are targeted to scale U.S. EMS distribution, expand the company’s U.S. military footprint, and accelerate its presence in select international markets.
