What device is used for junctional hemorrhage control in the axilla?

The combat ready clamp is specifically designed for managing junctional hemorrhage, particularly in areas like the axilla, where traditional tourniquets may not be effective. This device allows for direct compression of major blood vessels in the junctional areas, which include the shoulders and groin, promoting hemostasis in cases of severe bleeding. The clamp works by mechanically occluding the blood vessels to prevent blood loss while also allowing for other interventions to be carried out.

In contrast, while pressure dressings can help control bleeding, they may not provide the necessary level of compression in junctional areas compared to a combat ready clamp. Tourniquet masters are used to facilitate the application of standard tourniquets, but they are not specifically designed for junctional hemorrhage. Finally, an emergency trauma pack may contain multiple supplies for trauma management but does not focus on the specific need for junctional hemorrhage control the way a combat ready clamp does. Therefore, for effective management of axillary hemorrhage, the combat ready clamp is the most appropriate choice.
