SBIR-STTR Award

Advanced casualty care training is currently used by local, state and federal tactical teams, most branches of military and international security forces. To address concerns of access to critical care skills practice in an advanced learning environment; Link To Learn combines enhanced cadaveric capabilities and logistic support for the next level of advanced clinical and field training. Mobility, designed to accommodate the need for different training environments, brings the next level of training to you; whether it’s on base, an austere environment, or anywhere in between. Vertically integrated to offer a turn-key solution to meet the needs of your training program. The proposed trial will offer an advanced, high level, continuing education enhancements that raise the bar on current Tactical Combat Casualty Care training. Our Logistical Support Team travels to your specified training location to provide enhanced proprietary preserved cadavers to be integrated with current Clinical “Tabletop” Courses, for realistic and anatomically correct skills practice, and Tactical Medical Field Training, to use in mission simulations to provide desensitization training and the opportunity to assess, triage, and treat traumatic injuries prior to needing these skills on the battlefield. Proprietary cadaver preparation provides the end user with enhanced safety, ergonomic functionality, and unparalleled reliability. Enhancements for current training that bolsters battlefield readiness by providing continuing education for combat casualty skills training that, reinforces protocol knowledge, strengthens critical thinking and decision making, and provides hands-on experience to perform life-saving proced

Current geographic and logistical restrictions limit cadaveric TCCC-MP training resulting in reliance on PowerPoint slides, videos, and manikin type simulators. These static and unrealistic training tools often hinder learning proficiency and suppress tactile assessment skills which are vital to saving lives in the field. Link to Learn will adapt their current non-defense commercial solution to bring a multi mission, mobile cadaveric training and support team directly to the military end-user; scaled in any capacity to meet specific training needs & mission requirements. This unique combination of cadaveric training and multi-mission modularity will enhance tactile ability, build muscle memory, and retain the skills knowledge required to obtain advanced TCCC-MP mastery. Phase II Research/Research and Development (R/R&D) will increase access to bio-skill training opportunities and modernize the cadaveric model. Link to Learn will create a multi-mission mobile cadaveric training and support capability that will deliver the most realistic learning canvases available by introducing pulsatile flow, haptic feedback, and a proprietary soft embalming process that improves on current soft embalming methods and retains life-like tissue qualities for extended periods of time. By blending cadaveric training with enhancements to further add to the realism of the training experience, Link to Learn’s solution bridges the gap between knowledge acquisition and knowledge application
