Why This is the Best Tourniquet for Emergency First Aid

In a massive hemorrhage scenario, speed and reliability are non-negotiable. Our windlass tourniquet is engineered to meet the highest standards of emergency care.

Key Performance Features:

• One-Handed Application: The intuitive design allows for self-application, making it vital for solo responders or injured individuals.

• Reinforced Windlass System: Features a high-strength internal ribbon and a rugged windlass rod that won’t bend or break under the high pressure required to stop arterial flow.

• Universal Fit: Adjustable hook-and-loop strapping ensures a secure fit on all limb sizes, from small pediatric frames to large adult thighs.

• Weather-Resistant Technology: Constructed from durable, high-quality nylon and polymer that performs in extreme heat, cold, and wet conditions.

• Writeable Time Stamp: Includes a dedicated white “TIME” tag to record the application time—critical information for EMS and hospital trauma teams.

Step-by-Step: How to Apply a Windlass Tourniquet

Proper application is vital for survival. Follow these clinical guidelines:

1. Identify the Source: Locate the site of life-threatening bleeding.

2. Position the Device: Place the tourniquet 2-3 inches above the wound (between the wound and the heart). If the wound is below the elbow or knee, place it above the joint.

3. Tighten the Strap: Pull the self-adhering band as tight as possible and secure it back on itself.

4. Twist the Windlass: Turn the windlass rod until the bleeding stops completely and the distal pulse is no longer felt.

5. Lock in Place: Secure the rod inside the windlass clip to maintain pressure.

6. Record the Time: Write the application time on the white strap and do not loosen the device until medical professionals arrive.

  Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  Can this tourniquet be used on a leg?

  Yes. The adjustable strapping is long enough and strong enough to provide the necessary circumferential pressure to stop femoral artery bleeding in the thigh.

  Is this tourniquet reusable?

  This is a single-use life-saving device. Once it has been deployed in a real-world emergency, it should be replaced. For training purposes, we recommend using a dedicated “Training Tourniquet” to avoid wearing down the fibers of your primary emergency unit.

  Why choose a windlass tourniquet over an elastic one?

  A windlass system provides significantly more mechanical advantage, allowing you to create the high level of pressure needed to stop arterial blood flow, which elastic bandages often fail to achieve.
