Description

The Tourniquet Elastic Band (Blue, Improved Model) is a medical device used in emergencies to reduce serious bleeding by exerting pressure to blood vessels. This tourniquet is often composed of elastic material, which improves comfort and efficacy. It is used to halt the flow of blood in situations of severe limb injury, especially when conventional treatments such as direct pressure are ineffective. The new model is intended for simplicity of use, durability, and efficient compression. The blue hue is often used to emphasize that the band is a non-patient-specific, reusable device that may be found in first aid kits, emergency medical services, or by healthcare personnel in hospitals.

Uses of Product

Control of severe bleeding: Used when a limb has been seriously injured and other treatments (such as pressure bandages) fail to halt the blood flow. Emergency care is often employed in pre-hospital situations, such as by paramedics or first responders, before more sophisticated medical treatment becomes available. Preventing shock due to blood loss: Stopping bleeding reduces the risk of shock in an emergency.

Direction For Use

Examine the wound and the site of bleeding: Determine where the bleeding is most intense. Position the tourniquet: Place it 2-3 inches above the cut (or the location of bleeding), but not directly over a joint (such as the elbow or knee), since this might diminish efficacy. Wrap the elastic band: Begin winding it around the limb, making sure it is tight and secure. Tighten the band: Pull it until the bleeding stops. If the tourniquet has a mechanical tightening mechanism or buckle, use it to apply pressure as required. Secure the tourniquet in place: Once the tourniquet is tight enough to stop bleeding, use the fastener or adhesive to secure it. Mark the time: Record the time the tourniquet was placed, since this information is critical for medical personnel once the patient arrives at a hospital. Monitor the patient: Ensure that the patient is as steady as possible until medical aid comes. Avoid relaxing or removing the tourniquet until medical professionals can safely do so.

Safety Advices

Avoid applying the tourniquet across a joint (such as the knee or elbow), since this might result in inefficient compression and further harm. Ensure the right application: A tourniquet should only be used in serious bleeding when other measures (such as direct pressure) have failed. Keep an eye out for indicators of tissue damage: Prolonged use of a tourniquet may harm muscles, nerves, and other tissues. It should only be used in life-threatening conditions, and for no more than 1-2 hours before being relieved by medical staff. Avoid excessive tightening: While the tourniquet must be tight to stop the bleeding, overtightening might cause unneeded injury to the limb. Seek emergency medical treatment. Once administered, the individual should be sent to a hospital or emergency medical services as quickly as possible for further care. Do not use on small wounds: Tourniquets should only be used for serious, life-threatening bleeding, not minor cuts or injuries.
