The story behind CAZMAT

CAZMAT has been developed by Dr Tom Pavelle, an Emergency Medicine Doctor based in the South West of England. Following initial support from the University of Plymouth and national innovation awards, Tom began product development along with prehospital practitioners in both Civilian and Military settings. Tom has been working with Openhouse to produce the current mat. As with all clinical tools, Tom and Openhouse are looking to engage with clinicians to make the best and most suitable product so your feedback prior to, or post purchase, is welcome.
