Disposable Medical Tourniquet
A disposable medical tourniquet, a strap with a tightening rod that is fastened around a limb to restrict blood flow in an emergency.
Typical use
Used to stop life-threatening bleeding from a limb until definitive care is available, the strap is placed above the wound and tightened with the rod until the bleeding stops. The time of application is noted on the tag so the receiving team knows how long it has been on.
Before you order
Confirm the strap width and the tightening mechanism, and whether the tourniquet can be applied one-handed. Ask if it is intended for emergency use or for venous blood collection, since these are different products, and about the packaging and shelf life.
