Description
A military tourniquet is a specialized device designed for military applications to quickly control severe bleeding. It is typically a band or strap that can be tightly secured around an injured limb. Military tourniquets are constructed using high-strength materials such as synthetic fibers or rubber, capable of withstanding high pressure and tension. When using a military tourniquet, the operator fastens it above the wound and then tightens or twists the device to apply pressure to the injured area, effectively stopping the bleeding. Military tourniquets play a crucial role in the battlefield by rapidly controlling bleeding and buying valuable time for medical intervention for wounded personnel.
