sites within the torso, referred to as non-compressible torso hemorrhage (NCTH),
remain largely limited to the use of conventional operative techniques. The overall
mortality rate of patients with NCTH is approximately 50%. Studies from the wars
in Afghanistan and Iraq have suggested that up to 80% of potentially survivable
patients die as a result of uncontrolled exsanguinating hemorrhage. The
