When Russia’s War on Ukraine began, individuals around the world mobilized to support the Ukrainian people. Among those offering help is a group from Michigan Medicine’s Max Harry Weil Institute for Critical Care Research and Innovation.

The Weil Institute, partnered with Precision Trauma LLC, was developing tourniquets for years in response to the Stop the Bleed Campaign, which began after the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing. In addition, the two were working to create tourniquets that were easier to use and more comfortable after application.

They soon found another great need for the “Turn-I-Kit" devices they created.
