About TacMed Simulation™

The first TacMed Simulation™ manikin was developed under a research and development contract with the U.S. Army ARL-STTC to design and build a new medical training system for the treatment of severe blast trauma. The resulting technology was so effective and well received that TacMed Simulation™ was launched as a commercial product line. Today we have a broad portfolio of training systems to meet almost any need.
