Trail Blazers

Welcome to our latest episode of Trail Blazers.

Johnny is joined by Dik Barton, Health, Safety & Security and Operations Advisor and COO of ArmaTrex Ltd., a company producing and developing products for the medical responder, rescue industry and military, remote location and wilderness.

In this episode, we sit down with Dik Barton to explore his remarkable career and groundbreaking work in medical devices. From his early days as a commercial diver to his transition into the military, and eventually coordinating dives to the Titanic wreck, Dik's journey is nothing short of extraordinary. Drawing on his diverse experiences, he founded a business that has revolutionized emergency medical care.

Dik shares insights into two of his most innovative creations: a foam-based splint for immobilizing limb injuries and a lightweight, portable stretcher designed for extreme environments like war zones and remote locations. These products have already made a significant impact in regions such as Ukraine and Africa, as well as having a multitude of applications from military to civilian use.

We delve into the development process behind these devices, from initial prototypes to the integration of advanced materials and technology, including drones for rescue missions.

Join us as we explore Dik Barton's passion for innovation, his relentless pursuit of problem-solving, and how his work is shaping the future of emergency medical response.
