ZOEX Non-Inflatable Anti-Shock Garment (NASG)
The original ZOEX NIASG™ developed from NASA technology.
Occasionally referred to as the “Lifewrap”, the original Zoex NIASG is currently involved in both research studies and actual field use throughout the world. The concept of external counter pressure is proven to be safe and effective in the treatment of shock induced states that result from civilian and military traumas, complications of pregnancy, ruptured internal organs and blood vessels, severe allergic reactions, drowning, brain injury and pediatric emergencies. Pressure strategically applied by the calibrated tensile strength of the uniquely designed ZOEX NIASG™ material helps to stop internal bleeding while it also shunts blood from the patient’s legs and abdomen to the critical areas of the body where it is needed most—in the heart, lungs and brain.

Markets for the ZOEX NIASG™ include hospitals, clinics, medical offices, ocean going ships, commercial aircraft, military disaster services, ski patrols, Civil Defense, Red Cross and remote work sites such as oil rigs, mines and logging camps. A major application involves disaster control situations such as earthquakes and building collapses. Trauma victims can be stabilized for many hours while waiting for sufficient medical support to arrive.
