A Matter of Life, Thanks to SureFire
Most of us have been in emergency situations that were a matter of life or death. Read how SureFire helped tip the balance in these exciting tales.
| E2E Worth Weight in Gold in ER |
I use my SureFire E2E Executive Elite® every day in the emergency room at Ibn Sina Hospital in Baghdad, Iraq. One lifesaving but risky procedure we unfortunately have to perform fairly often involves making an incision on the left side and pumping a patient's heart by hand while the patient's aorta is clamped to shunt blood to only the most vital organs (heart, lungs, and brain). Getting to the aorta is hard enough without being able to see inside of a dark chest cavity, but my SureFire is small enough to avoid being in the way and bright enough to operate by its light. Whether it's a quick wound check, assessing and extracting casualties from vehicles at the gate, or reaching into a major injury to clamp an artery, my SureFire lights the way.
