BlastSax®
Tripwire Operations Group is proud to introduce BlastSax® TMD (Transportable Mitigation Device). The patent pending BlastSax® devices are engineered for the military, private industry and public safety to save lives in the field during wartime, training, industrial construction and homeland terrorist attacks. BlastSax® are extremely lightweight, portable and always ready to deploy in seconds. When dry, each is less than 1 lb. They activate in less than three minutes with water and deploy to a 50 lbs blast absorbing cushion. BlastSax® can provide protection against incendiary devices and can stop a variety of firearm rounds.
Now with the BLASTSAX II each bag contains 9 absorbent pads, laid in 3 layers of 3 pads side by side and sewn into a outer sleeve.
This outer skin is thicker with a tighter weave: slows frag penetration sooner. They contain 30% more fill and polymer for better expanding. 25% to 30% better absorption of shockwave. 30% better results than the earlier generation.
In addition to suppressing shock waves from an explosion, BlastSax® can assist in containing the flash, smoke an most importantly the fragmentation or "frag". A unique feature that was engineered into BlastSax® is its capability to "capture" and "cool" hot frag pieces to assist in forensic analysis for a more complete reconstruction of the device.
BlastSax® can assists to:
- Reduce Logistics
- Considerably Reduce Blasts
- Contain Blast Frag Pieces and Contaminants
- Save lives & Protect Property from blasts or flood water
BlastSax® can be used for - but are not limited to:

- AP Mines (discovered unexploded land mines)
- IED (i.e. pipe bomb or dirty bomb)
- Industrial Blasting (rock quarry and mine tunneling)
- Detonator Preparation (on-board ships or elsewhere)
- Humanitarian De-Mining (unexploded cluster munitions)
