Cooperation with IVF Hartmann: Speed Care Mineral GmbH expands tactical operations medicine portfolio

Through the production and distribution of special pressure bandages such as the HARTMANN TRAUMA BANDAGE, IVF HARTMANN is one of the few recognized Swiss experts in the application field of tactical emergency medicine. Speed Care Mineral GmbH is a German company with expertise in the field of hemostasis, especially in preclinical emergency care. Therefore, both companies have decided to cooperate in the field of tactical emergency medicine.

«The HARTMANN TRAUMA BANDAGE and the SpeedM® emergency hemostatic dressing from Speed Care Mineral are unique in their areas of application and complement each other perfectly. Both products were developed with the requirements of combat casualty care in mind. In combination, they offer our customers a high-quality and substantial portfolio in Tactical Combat Casualty Care»,

explains Mathias Weber, Sales and Marketing Manager at IVF HARTMANN.

For the time being, the two companies will support each other in developing the market and conduct joint marketing activities. Speed Care Mineral GmbH and IVF HARTMANN AG are striving for ambitious growth targets in the market for tactical emergency medicine.

The market for products for tactical emergency medicine is a dynamic growth market. The wounded are treated under challenging conditions and are usually not treated by nurses and doctors, but by soldiers or first responders who are exposed to very high physical and psychological stress. The demands placed on the products therefore differ from those used in traditional human medicine.

The care of life-threatening hemorrhages is in the foreground. Emergency hemostasis compresses and pressure bandages are therefore among the most widely used products in the field of tactical emergency medicine.
