From the doctor behind TAK710
I’ve spent more than 30 years in pre-hospital emergency medicine, including time as a Westpac Rescue Helicopter doctor.
Uncontrolled bleeding is still the number one preventable cause of death in trauma. In shark attacks, prop strikes, spearfishing accidents and high-energy crashes, victims can lose a critical volume of blood in minutes. Help usually arrives later than that.
We are not losing people because help isn’t coming. We’re losing them because the person standing next to them can’t stop the bleed in time. The TAK710 Smart Tourniquet was brought into Australia to help close that gap.

The Problem
In catastrophic limb trauma, minutes — and mistakes — matter.
Uncontrolled haemorrhage is a leading preventable cause of death in trauma. A victim with a major limb injury can bleed to death in 3–5 minutes. Paramedics, helicopters and rescue services typically arrive later than that. In shark attacks, prop strikes, spearfishing accidents, industrial injuries and high-energy crashes, rapid, effective bleeding control in the first minutes can be the difference between life and death.
Under-tightened in chaos
Traditional tourniquets rely on precise technique that breaks down under stress and pain.
Loosen during movement
Manual pressure can fail before the patient reaches care — critical during transport and evacuation.
Difficult to self-apply one-handed
A critical failure point when the victim is alone or helpers are panicked.
Fine motor skills disappear
“Tightening by feel” becomes guesswork in the exact moments it matters most.
“It was encouraging to hear that first responders used a tourniquet — but not all tourniquets are equal, and many fail because they’re not applied correctly or tightly enough.”
– Dr Adrian Cohen
The Device
An automatic, single-use smart tourniquet.
The TAK710 Smart Tourniquet is an emergency haemorrhage control device intended to rapidly occlude arterial and venous blood flow in the extremities to control life-threatening bleeding. Intended for use by trained and untrained individuals in prehospital and emergency settings.
- Single-use medical device
- Automatic inflation above blood pressure
- Maintains pressure during movement and evacuation
- Vacuum-sealed, water-safe packaging
Who It’s For
Designed for the people who respond to the bleed.
If you take responsibility for people in environments where help can be minutes to hours away, TAK710 is intended for you.
Surf Lifesaving & Patrols
- Patrol and IRB kits
- Roving and remote beaches
- Event and competition coverage
Spearfishers, Divers & Charter Boats
- Offshore spearfishing and diving trips
- Shark and prop-strike risk
- Charter vessels and private boats
Remote & Workplace Settings
- Farms and stations
- Mines and industrial sites
- 4WD and remote touring
“If you take responsibility for people in environments where help can be minutes to hours away, TAK710 is intended for you.”
How It Works
Four steps in a high-stress moment.
No training required. No tightening by feel. No guessing if it’s enough.
Place the cuff around the top of the injured limb — arm or leg.
Hook the buckle and tighten the strap snugly around the limb.
Pull the safety pin.
Press the button. The device automatically inflates above blood pressure to control bleeding until handover to medical care.
Why It’s Different
Built for real-world chaos, not just classroom drills.
Surf, marine and remote environments add water, sand, cold, low light and limited manpower. Devices that enable rapid, one-handed application with objective haemorrhage control may reduce failure rates in these conditions.

Why You Don’t Pull the Pin “Just to See What Happens”.
TAK710 is a single-use medical device. It’s vacuum-sealed in a water-safe pack and designed to be deployed once in a real emergency, then replaced.
Flares
You don’t fire your flares on a sunny day to see if they work.
Fire extinguisher
You don’t set off your fire extinguisher to watch the spray pattern.
Emergency kit
You keep them sealed, in date, and ready — just like TAK710.
It’s not a toy, and it’s not a gadget. It’s closer to a life raft, flare or EPIRB — something you carry so that if the worst happens, you have more than your bare hands.
