1. General questions about tourniquets

  • A tourniquet is a special medical device used to stop severe bleeding from the limbs. Its purpose is to quickly cut off blood circulation in the damaged vessel, which can save a life until professional medical help is provided.

  • Severe bleeding can lead to loss of life within 3-5 minutes. Having a tourniquet readily available allows you to provide first aid to yourself or others in critical situations, such as during an accident, combat, or emergency.

    ⮚ In military conditions to save wounded individuals.
    ⮚ In the event of accidents or man-made disasters.

  • Unlike bandages or improvised tourniquets, a tourniquet:
    ⮚ Provides more reliable and faster blood flow control.
