Quick Overview

The Quick-Tight Windlass Tourniquet is a life-saving device for the rapid control of severe, life-threatening bleeding in an arm or leg. It is intended for use in pre-hospital trauma settings such as industrial sites, vehicle accidents, and remote wilderness environments to stop hemorrhage until professional medical help arrives.

Field Application Steps

Place strap 2-3 inches above the wound, avoiding joints, and route through the D-Clasp.
Pull the strap until all slack is removed and the tourniquet is extremely tight.
Twist the windlass rod until bleeding stops completely and the distal pulse is absent.
Lock the windlass rod into the securing clip to maintain pressure.
Write the time of application on the device or patient and seek immediate professional medical care.
