# 2022 SYGNIS |
Tourniquets can save lives but are often not available when most needed.
Sygnis’ design is based on the simple car seatbelt locking system and uses easily accessible plastic straps. Unlike traditional tourniquets which require professionally sewn Velcro or difficult-to-source omnitape, this design can be quickly assembled with a 3D printer and the free downloadable manual, meaning easy implementation, decentralized production and more lives saved in emergency situations.
