Tourniquet Quick Release Buckle, Elasticated, Latex
An elasticated tourniquet fitted with a quick release buckle, used for emergency blood loss prevention and designed for single hand release in urgent trauma situations.
The Tourniquet Quick Release Buckle is an elasticated tourniquet intended for emergency blood loss prevention, applied above a bleeding wound on a limb to restrict blood flow until further treatment can be given. It uses a quick release buckle so it can be released again with a single hand, an important design feature when the person applying or removing the tourniquet may also be managing other aspects of the casualty's care at the same time, or when the casualty needs to release it themselves.
Because the tourniquet is elasticated, it is described as containing latex, which is worth noting for anyone with a known latex allergy who may need an alternative. Tourniquets of this kind are commonly carried by first aiders, sports medical staff, security and close protection teams, and anyone trained in trauma first aid who may need to control severe bleeding quickly before emergency services arrive.
This listing covers the tourniquet in three colours, blue, green and red, which can help teams colour code their kits or simply choose the option that suits their existing first aid supplies.
