We're looking at it also for the civilian side with traumatic amputations and bleed outs from other wounds.
So far, it has ease of use, nearly foolproof (until they build a better fool!!)
our medics and SWAT guys can apply it quickly with 1 or 2 people or self applied. I like the fact that it is built wider than others on the market. I'm also looking at the S.A.T.S. which has a different 'buckle' mechanism and locking clamp. Going to give both a good workout and then be able to recommend to our local/regional tac-med operators as well as local/regional and possibly state EMS.
the web sites do a good job of demonstrating and after applying both to my arms and legs I get less 'pain/pinch' with the MAT
