Tourniquet
A tourniquet is a lifesaving device used to stop severe bleeding from a wound on a limb. When applied correctly, it constricts blood vessels and can prevent blood loss and potential death in emergency situations. 72hours.ca offers a variety of tourniquets, including the Ready First Aid house brand, which has options for a cheaper plastic rod or a more durable metal rod option, as well as the SAM extreme Tourniquet. When used in combination with a chest seal kit, a tourniquet can effectively control bleeding from gunshot wounds or other penetrating trauma to the chest or limbs. It's important to choose the right tourniquet for your needs and to use it in the correct order with a chest seal kit. Remember, chest seals are only for open chest wounds, first aid should always be followed by professional medical attention as soon as possible
