How To Make A Tourniquet?
A tourniquet is a device designed to temporarily restrict blood flow in a limb, most commonly used in medical settings for blood collection, IV insertion, or emergency bleeding control. While tourniquets can be improvised in extreme situations, the safest and most reliable choice is to use professionally manufactured disposable tourniquets. At Jiangmen Ronghai Medical Technology Co., Ltd., we specialize in producing high-quality TPE disposable tourniquets that ensure hygiene, safety, and ease of use.
Why Not Improvise a Tourniquet?
Improvised tourniquets using belts, ropes, or cloth strips may provide temporary pressure, but they often cause:
Uneven compression, leading to tissue or nerve damage.
Difficulty in quick application during emergencies.
Lack of hygiene, which can increase infection risks.
This is why medical-grade disposable tourniquets are recommended for professional healthcare use and first-aid kits.
