The development story is one on which lasting relationships are forged. In 2001, HemCon Medical Technologies, Inc. partnered with the U.S. Army to design a hemostatic dressing that would save the lives of soldiers who suffered hemorrhaging on the battlefield, far from medical care that could save them. Our brave soldiers needed a quick solution to stop bleeding and allow for transport to critical care units. The HemCon Bandage with its antibacterial barrier was born from need.

In 2003, the HemCon Bandages began shipping to troops fighting in OEF and IEF. We’ve shipped over one million dressings and have had no adverse effects reported to date. HemCon Bandages are credited with saving over 100 lives on the battlefield and therefore remains a the top choice hemorrhage control dressing for the Armed Forces worldwide.

A duty to save lives can come in many forms from a medical device company. HemCon Medical Technologies, Inc. is proud to offer our military customers the new SAVe ambient air ventilator from Automedx, offered exclusively through HemCon.

Our pledge to those who serve and protect our lives is one of dedication and continued technological advancement to bring more soldiers home alive.
