Stainless Steel RMT - High impact, High Load, Adverse Environmental Conditions

The Stainless Steel RMT is m2's adverse-environment tourniquet, designed for high-impact, high-load scenarios where standard polymer buckles may be at risk of failure — maritime operations, extreme cold, heavy mechanical environments, or repeated use under conditions that degrade plastic components. The 1" stainless steel ratcheting buckle with aluminum lever arm maintains function across temperature extremes and resists the deformation that can occur with hard use on polymer variants.

Clinical application is the same as other RMT variants: extremity hemorrhage control via adjustable ratcheting mechanical pressure, self-locking, single-hand applicable with training. The 1.5" webbing width and 86 g weight remain consistent with the standard 1.5" RMT profile.

This is the appropriate choice when environmental conditions — water, salt, cold, impact — are a real operational factor, or when a tourniquet will be subjected to hard daily use rather than staged in a kit and rarely deployed.
