Dear Jack,I do not know where you get your information from, Walter Reed Army Research Center is just that it has no mandate to make decision on product for any department that I am aware off.The roll for Walter Reed was to evaluate I/O devices including the only sternal access unit the FAST1.
There are not four devices that have met the requirements for the military. Special Forces did indeed tests the FAST1 and other products but they were not from the Uniformed Military University as you state.
The author of the report from Walter Reed is not even in the country at this time and wont be back for at least two weeks but yet you claim to have received all this information from him
I know this person, and he would not provide information on a report to a civilian, over the phone, especially since it has not been released yet.
There is no product that I know off that 20 can be held in one hand, the handle alone for the SurFast is the size of a pool ball.
All other devices that you describe, except the FAST1, are used in the TIBIA and as such make little sense in a battlefield environment where 70 percent of all injuries are peripheral.
If we are going to make speculative comments then at least you can do is get the facts strait.
