Showcasing military-grade medical stretchers and the unique portable disposable suction unit

Our products were developed for the battlefield, however with many public disasters or accidents happening we saw a desperate need for point-of-injury medical supplies. For large gatherings such as concerts, festivals and even the everyday morning commute, we need to be prepared for any deliberate attack or accidental incident.

Introducing the Xtricate Lyte:

TyTek Medical’s XTricate Lyte is a high performance, low cost disposable emergency stretcher, inspired by the military. Featuring an independent laboratory tested load capacity of 500 lbs, it has four large handles on each side and two large handles at both the foot and head, ready to serve and improve your ability to move patients wherever you may be. 

Introducing the TVAC:

TyTek Medical's disposable portable suction unit with its resilient silicone bulb performs reliably in even the harshest climates without loss of suction. Unique in the market - TVAC delivers 100% of the suction - 100% of the time.

About SOMA: 

The Special Operations Medical Association will be the premier professional organization to enhance knowledge, experience, skills, and wisdom of current and future Special Operations and Tactical providers. Their Mission is to advance the science, technology, knowledge and skills of unconventional medicine providers in order to increase survival, reduce suffering, and speed recovery of those who are injured or become ill during Special Operations or Tactical missions.

Looking for point-of-injury bleeding control?

A wall-mounted bleeding control station is a great choice for public places, especially schools, offices and workplaces. They are easily accessible and quick to detach, saving all-important seconds when supplying bleeding control first aid, as the platinum ten minutes states: every second counts.
