Tactical Anesthesia Workstation (TAW)

Delivering Critical Care in the Battlefield

Portable, modular medical station for enhanced critical care in austere environments.

For critically wounded patients, Ground Surgical Teams know that minutes can mean the difference between life and death. Developed from a frontline medic’s Spark Tank idea via rapid prototyping, the TAW:

• Organizes life-saving equipment and patient movement items (PMI) for quick access.
• Reduces setup time and delays.
• Minimizes trip hazards.
• Improves vitals monitoring and patient care.
• Easily transported.

Developed with industry and Department of the Air Force (DAF) partners and tested at U.S. Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine (USAFSAM), 40 TAW systems are currently being evaluated by GST operators worldwide.
