ABS elastic buckle tourniquet

The ABS elastic buckle tourniquet consists of two parts: a plastic buckle and an elastic band. It is a new type of tourniquet. It is directly fixed by the plastic buckle and is not easy to loosen after being fixed. Therefore, it is more efficient to use than traditional rubber tube tourniquets.

Sanji Medical  Buckle Tourniquet Parameter (Specification):

What types of bleeding are suitable for tourniquet hemostasis?

When there is severe bleeding from major arteries in the limbs: When arterial bleeding is severe, direct pressure cannot stop it, and the blood flow is rapid, this tourniquet should be used immediately.

When there is limb amputation or severe injury: If there is massive bleeding from the amputation site or injured limb, a buckle tourniquet can be used to reduce blood loss and buy time for further treatment.

When other hemostatic methods are ineffective: In cases of complex injuries such as blast injuries or crush injuries, if direct pressure or pressure bandages fail to stop bleeding, the ABS elastic buckle tourniquet can be used.  

In cases of severe bleeding under special circumstances: In large-scale casualties such as on battlefields or during earthquakes, or in remote wilderness areas with limited medical resources, the ABS elastic buckle tourniquet can be used for severe bleeding.

Important Notes for Using a ABS elastic buckle tourniquet:

(1) The correct location for applying the clamp-type tourniquet is one-third of the way up the upper arm for the upper limb and the middle to upper part of the thigh for the lower limb;

(2) The tourniquet should be applied with appropriate tension;

(3) Record the date and time of applying the tourniquet. Use the 24-hour clock system for time recording. Release the tourniquet for 3–5 minutes every 40–50 minutes;

(4) During tourniquet release, use finger pressure or direct compression to stop bleeding and minimize blood loss.
