DNIPRO TMT Tourniquet GEN 2 (Tactical Medical Tourniquet)

The DNIPRO TMT (Tactical Medical Tourniquet) GEN 2 is a windlass-driven tourniquet built to stop severe limb haemorrhage fast. Refined in Ukraine through ongoing combat use, it has become one of the most widely deployed tourniquets in modern conflict and a practical choice for medics, first responders, tactical teams, and prepared civilians.

Key features and benefits

• Stronger windlass: reshaped for improved grip and leverage, machined from aluminium alloy (Duralumin), and independently tested in Australia against alternative windlass tourniquets.
• Wide Velcro strap: laser-cut porthole for fast tactile indexing, fully closes and locks across the gate for confident retention under load.
• Reinforced inner tape: high tensile strength and tear resistance, with smooth rotation for controlled windlass operation.
• Strengthened, flexible backplate: reinforced to eliminate common failure points whilst still contouring to limbs of varying sizes and securely retaining the windlass gate.
• Improved comfort: added padding between the backplate and routing buckle reduces pressure points and pinching, lowering tissue trauma during application.

The two types of tourniquet

Tourniquets fall into two main categories: windlass (mechanical) and pneumatic. The DNIPRO TMT is a windlass design, using a rigid rod twisted against a circumferential strap to compress the limb and occlude arterial flow. Windlass tourniquets are the standard for pre-hospital trauma care because they are compact, fast to apply one-handed, and do not rely on power or pressurised air.
