FEBSSField Expedient Bleeding Simulation SystemCreated by former Army Medic Trainer Sgt. Lynn Randall KingEvans Army Community HospitalArmy Medical Department (AMEDD) Problem High percentage of fatalities and disabilities resulting from delays in effective hemorrhage control in the field Unrealistic tools for medic training: • didn’t recreate the stress and difficulty of real life hemorrhage control in the field • Mannequin hooked up to laptop was cumbersome and impractical Solution • CRADA with Skedco and Army to develop prototype (mannequin to backpack) • These prototypes can simulate several concurrent wounds, either mild or severe, from a venal nick to a pulsing arterial hemorrhage. Units are suited for retrofitting of typical mannequins already in use, or the systems can be worn by personnel in a role playing exercise. Validation • Fort Carson 91W School – combat medics in training • Multiple Army units Technology Transfer • Exclusive licensee • Anticipated units to be sold in both the civilian and military sector
Evolution of “Joe” – from a bleeding mannequin to a backpack
