6.5 feet (2 m) Emergency Silicone Tourniquet
Silicone emergency tourniquets are used in the IDF for emergency
bleeding control. Their purpose is to prevent severe blood loss due to limb trauma
.
Be prepared – a tourniquet is required in any
first aid kit.
For emergency situations at work, home, hiking
and any outdoor activity.
Elastic and stretches to increase pressure
around the limb.
To be used on limbs only, recommended for arm,
forearm
or shin external blood loss
.
Easy to handle (see instructions down page).
Description
A tourniquet is a constricting or compressing device, specifically a bandage, used to control venous and arterial circulation to an extremity for a period of time. Pressure is applied to temporarily occlude the blood vessels. It is generally used as a tool for a medical professional in applications such as cannulation or to stem the flow of traumatic bleeding, especially by military medics. The tourniquet is usually applied when the patient is in a life-threatening state as a result of continuous bleeding.
Suggested instructions of use
Tourniquets are used in cases of external blood
flow from the limbs, which cannot be contained by direct pressure with a bandage,
as well as partial or full amputation. The tourniquet’s goal is to prevent
blood from flowing and hence stop blood loss.
1.
The silicone tourniquet is a 6.5 feet long
strip
and its width is 2.5 inches (6.5 cm)
. It should be rolled on the affected limb, between 2 to 4 inches above
the bleeding point. Do not place on body joints as it will not be effective.
(if 2-4 inches above the wound is a joint, place the tourniquet above it). Apply
the tourniquet over skin, not clothing, for a better grip.
2.
Wrap the tourniquet once loosely, while leaving
a 4″ long free strip which will be later used to tie the tourniquet. Keep
wrapping the tourniquet around the limb, while
simultaneously
stretching it as hard as you can. Keep
wrapping on the same lines as previous wraps – in order to build pressure on
the same area. Even if the bleeding stops while wrapping the tourniquet – do not
stop! Use all of it to ensure maximum pressure and a complete stop of blood
flow.
3.
When reaching the last 4″ of the roll, tie
the two tips together twice strongly. It is important to tie it strongly since
c
onscious patients may try to remove it due to the pain.
Tying it strongly will make then unable to do so.
Pain
relievers may be applied by authorized
medical
personnel.
4.
Once the tourniquet application is completed, write
the time on the patient’s body, as a reference for other medical personnel.
Now, as
the bleeding is contained, call a medical emergency unit, or transport the
patient quickly to a hospital, for additional treatments.
