Medical Tourniquets

Medical tourniquets are crucial devices used to control and restrict blood flow in emergency and surgical situations. They are primarily utilized to stop heavy bleeding in traumatic injuries by applying pressure to a limb, thus preventing severe blood loss. In surgical settings, tourniquets help create a bloodless field, enhancing visibility and precision during procedures. They are also commonly used during blood draws or IV insertions to engorge veins, making them easier to locate. Proper application is essential to minimize the risk of tissue damage.
