The DMDM (Distributed Medical Device Manufacturing) worker's collective specializes in getting safe, effective tourniquets into crisis zones where they're needed. We're working with Distribute Aid and Afya Foundation to take advantage of a rare, emergency opportunity to get our tourniquets airfreighted into Lebanon right when they're needed most.

It typically takes weeks or months to get aid into countries facing a crisis. One of DMDM's missions is to find ways of getting aid into the hands of those who need it faster than typical supply chains allow. On April 8, Israel launched a devastating attack on Lebanon, killing at least 357 people and injuring countless more. We have already sent 250 tourniquets, which are moving through customs and will be in the hands of medics soon. Now, we're asking for your help to send 200 more.

We're raising $3,100 to send 200 tourniquets which we're shipping below cost for $15 each (approximately $20 less than the leading corporate brands) + $100 for shipping. Funds raised over the goal will be used to send additional tourniquets to Lebanon or to a future crisis zone.

About DMDM tourniquets:

Manufactured by our nonprofit worker's collective in an FDA-registered facility in Tucson, AZ;
Inspected with our 16-step quality control process;
Meet or exceed all available regulations, including ANSI/OSHA requirements;
Tracked from the factory to the field using an open source, anonymized data collection method pioneered by our partners at GOSQAS;
Rigorously tested against corporate tourniquets and scientifically proven to be as safe or safer than the leading brands.

We use an open source tourniquet design created by our partners at Glia.
