Our Mission

To provide innovative medical devices to first responders and pre-hospital care providers who lack the technology to improve patient outcomes.

Company History

Tir Medical began in 2016 with the research and development of its first product, TourniTek. By 2019, initial TourniTek research was published, a prototype was complete, and then with the support of grants and a defense contract, pre-clinical testing was funded for a new product, VascuSight. Both Tir Medical products were developed with two top medical universities: the University of Washington and the University of California, San Francisco.
