The INDEX Awards have been reported as being analogous to the Nobel Prize for design, with the five award-winners sharing equal parts of the overall $640,500+ prize money awards. INDEX’s self-stated objective is to “inspire designers, business and societies alike, to unfold the human and commercial potential in Design to Improve Life, in order to solve the global challenges of mankind.”

Whether it be from battlefield action, terrorists attacks, vehicular accidents or even natural disasters, severe limb damage is a primary cause of amputation and fatalities resulting from bleed-out.

By virtue of its proven, easy and fast life and limb saving attributes, the MAT was nominated for the Body category of the INDEX Award.

The 2007 INDEX Awards will be presented by the Crown Prince of Denmark on September 24, 2007.
