How to use / When it’s useful

Quick answer: Use this tourniquet only for severe, uncontrolled bleeding when direct pressure on the wound is not stopping the blood loss. In most cases, apply it about 2.5 cm above the wound and tighten until the bleeding stops, then seek professional medical care immediately.

Apply after cleaning the area if possible, place a soft pad under the tourniquet to protect the skin, and secure it so it does not loosen. This device is useful in tactical, police and emergency settings where rapid hemorrhage control is needed.

• Risk of tissue damage and ischemia if applied too tightly or for too long — monitor and seek care
