 Company History

Techline Technologies, Inc. was born out of MPS, Inc., an applied polymer research laboratory supporting the Department of Defense. Reincorporated in 2001, Techline supported Operation Iraqi Freedom and the Global War on Terror by providing specialized material research and products.

In 2006, the U. S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM), awarded Techline the severe trauma simulation development contract. The purpose was to develop realistic wound simulations for combat medicine training.

The goal of the development effort was to produce realistic, rugged wound simulations that could be quickly donned and doffed. It was important to provide as much realism as possible to recreate the psychological obstacles that faced the rescuer.

Using existing relationships within the Special Ops community, Techline’s research-based approach led to simulations “developed with the operators, for the operators.” Each Techline device replicated an actual injury suggested by combat medics and was reviewed by a Navy Corpsman and a Chief Pathologist for accuracy.

At the conclusion of the development effort, Techline commercialized a set of Wearable Wound Simulations®, now known as the WW3-000 Deluxe Wound Kit. This launched the Techline Trauma product line.

Through the years, Techline Technologies, Inc. has pushed the industry to create more realistic simulations and has been granted over ten patents due to the company’s innovative thinking and design.  Techline expanded its line of products to include the Wounds in a Box®, the Bleeding Control Task Trainer, and self-adhesive wounds.  Although often imitated in appearance, the durability and ruggedness of Techline Trauma products are unmatched.
