Introduction To The Use Of Tourniquet

The Tourniquet Manufacturer is relatively simple, but the principles of use are more complicated. Only by accurately mastering these principles can we save lives and limbs, otherwise it will lead to amputation and disability.

1. Before the upper tourniquet, the injured limb should be raised first, so that the venous blood flows back to the body, thereby reducing blood loss.

2. The position of the upper tourniquet should be as close as possible to the bleeding site under the premise of effective hemostasis. However, the use of a tourniquet is forbidden in the middle of the upper arm, because the phrenic nerve passes through the surface of the tibia, and the compression of the tourniquet can cause damage to the phrenic nerve, which makes the function below the forearm difficult to recover in the future.

3. The Disposable Medical Tourniquet can not be directly tied to the limb. The area where the tourniquet is prepared should be padded with a soft cloth pad such as a dressing or towel to protect the skin.
