- Xmetics introduces the TAC 710 at Defense Tech Expo 2026 in Tel Aviv.
- Inspired by the events of October 7th, addressing critical blood loss.
- Designed for rapid, self-application by soldiers and civilians alike.
- Already gaining interest from governments for mass casualty preparedness.
At the Defense Tech Expo 2026 in Tel Aviv, Idan Razinovsky, CEO of Xmetics, unveiled a groundbreaking innovation poised to transform emergency medical response: the TAC 710, the world's first automatic tourniquet. This device aims to address a critical gap in immediate trauma care, offering a rapid and effective solution to stop severe blood loss.
The inspiration behind the TAC 710 is deeply rooted in the tragic events of October 7th. Razinovsky explained that while automation has permeated nearly every aspect of modern life, the crucial task of stopping blood loss on the battlefield and in civilian emergencies has largely remained a manual process. Xmetics recognized this disparity and set out to create a device that could automate this life-saving intervention, making it faster, simpler, and more accessible.
The TAC 710 is engineered for ease of use, even under extreme pressure. Razinovsky demonstrated its application, highlighting its intuitive design: "Pull the pin, push the button, and that's it. It's starting to get tight." This simplicity is paramount, especially for soldiers in high-stress combat situations who may need to apply a tourniquet to themselves with limited dexterity or time. The device ensures consistent, effective pressure, a significant improvement over manual tourniquets which can be prone to incorrect application.
Beyond military applications, the potential for the TAC 710 in civilian contexts is immense. Razinovsky revealed that following the tragic Bondi Beach incident, the Australian government reached out to Xmetics, expressing a keen interest in the device for mass casualty events. The TAC 710 is envisioned as a vital component in 'stop the bleed' kits for police, law enforcement, military, EMS, and crucially, the average citizen. Its rapid deployment capability – taking just two seconds to apply – makes it ideal for schools, public venues, and any location where a mass casualty incident or terrorist attack could occur.
Razinovsky shared a compelling anecdote about his 66-year-old mother, a teacher in New York, who was able to unpack and apply the device within five seconds. This underscores the TAC 710's user-friendliness and its potential for widespread adoption, making immediate, life-saving care available to virtually anyone, anywhere. Xmetics envisions the TAC 710 becoming as ubiquitous as defibrillators, present in every classroom and public space, ready to save lives when every second counts.
“My 66-year-old mother, who is a teacher at a Jewish day school in New York, is able to take it out of the package within 5 seconds, understand how to put it on, put it on, and that was it.”
