How To Use A Tourniquet?

2025-09-30

tourniquet is a medical device designed to temporarily restrict blood flow in a limb. It is commonly used in medical procedures such as venipuncture, blood collection, IV therapy, or in emergency situations to control bleeding. As a professional supplier of disposable tourniquets, we provide reliable and safe products that are trusted in hospitals, clinics, laboratories, and first-aid settings.


When to Use a Tourniquet

  1. Blood Collection and IV Access
    Tourniquets are used by healthcare professionals to make veins more visible and accessible for drawing blood or inserting an IV needle.

  2. Emergency Bleeding Control
    In urgent trauma situations, tourniquets can be applied above the wound site to slow or stop severe bleeding until professional medical help is available.


Step-by-Step Guide to Using a Disposable Tourniquet

  1. Preparation

    • Choose a clean, disposable tourniquet.

    • Ensure the patient is comfortable and explain the procedure.

  2. Application for Blood Collection

    • Place the tourniquet around the upper arm, about 7–10 cm above the venipuncture site.

    • Tighten just enough to make the veins more prominent, without causing pain.

    • Perform the blood draw or IV insertion.

    • Once the procedure is complete, release and remove the tourniquet immediately.

  3. Application for Emergency Bleeding Control

    • Place the tourniquet above the bleeding site (closer to the heart).

    • Tighten until bleeding slows significantly or stops.

    • Note the time of application and seek professional medical attention immediately.

    • Do not leave the tourniquet applied for more than recommended medical guidelines (generally under 2 hours).
