What can be practiced:
3 deep wounds, mounted at 7 points
wound packing, hemostatics, dressings
application of a tourniquet, effectiveness control
OPA/NPA and supraglottic devices
decompression/drainage according to Monaldi and Bülau
IV access in the forearm
IO access: sternum / humerus / tibia (with multiple pads)
interchangeable eyes (pupils: normal/constricted/dilated)
voice: recorded phrases or “live” voice, Bluetooth module IPX7
Why it is “right” for military and instructors:
- Real evacuation: flexible limbs = training for carrying/pulling/stretchers.
- Field conditions: durable PVC, resistant to dirt/water/temperature fluctuations, without “delicate” electronics.
- Training on algorithms: compatible with cABCDE/XABCDE/MARCH schemes.
Although military-tactical simulation may vary depending on threats in combat situations, the basic philosophy of aiding the wounded remains unchanged.
Combat Carl can be equipped with realistic wound models and amputation stumps for arms and legs as needed.
During the first phase “Care Under Fire,” the goal is to teach the wounded self-aid as quickly as possible, even under the threat of ongoing combat, to move them to a safe zone and provide assistance. Nearly 18% of fatalities can be avoided if trained providers act within the first 10 minutes — the so-called “Platinum Ten Minutes.”
That is why special attention is paid to self-aid and buddy-aid — this allows for first aid to be provided in tactical conditions. Simple hemostatic measures for gunshot wounds are performed using self-adhesive hyper-realistic wound dressings and can also be practiced using a tourniquet, increasing the wounded person's chances of survival. Applying a tourniquet to limbs prevents excessive blood loss and death from exsanguination. Ideal for training with a bleeding module that can be controlled via an app (APP).
In the second phase “Tactical Field Care,” a standardized assessment can be performed for the first time according to the MARCH scheme without active hostile action. This scheme is repeated cyclically.
Next is the third and final phase “Tactical Evacuation Care”: preparation and execution of qualified transportation of the wounded to a field hospital. Various means are used for evacuation depending on the situation: ideally — a rescue helicopter with intensive care equipment; for ground evacuation — armored vehicles (e.g., transport armored personnel carrier/tank). The main goal of TCCC (Tactical Combat Casualty Care) is to adhere to time standards: after basic assistance in the “Platinum Ten Minutes,” the wounded must be evacuated from the danger zone within the “Golden Hour,” after which surgical treatment is conducted in a sterile environment.
For whom:
Military units, training units CLS/combat medics
Tactical medicine instructors and TCCC/TECC training centers
Universities, simulation centers, disaster medicine departments
Emergency services/paramedics — mass casualty and evacuation scenarios
Why the simulator really “works” in tactical medicine
Under stress, only what has been practiced to automation works
Combat Carl provides scenarios: bleeding + airway + thorax + access + evacuation
You train time (Platinum 10 minutes / Golden hour) and team actions
