They were the \u201clast resort\u201d and sayings like \u201clife over limb\u201d became synonymous with amputation. Decades of combat have proven that the tourniquet can be left on, in some cases, 48 hours or more without any damage to the limb. And of course, no amputation required. In today\u2019s trauma medicine world, tourniquets are used quite frequently with massive hemorrhaging, which can be life-threatening. A good tourniquet properly applied, will squeeze off blood flow and prevent loss of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not only have tourniquets gone from last resort to sometimes first option, its application has evolved as well. Before, tourniquets were applied just above the bleeder in order to save as much of the extremity as possible. This supported the notion that where the tourniquet was placed, was also the location or point of amputation. Now, there\u2019s a saying \u201cgo high or die,\u201d meaning you want to apply the tourniquet as high up the limb as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-smg-jwplayer-video\"><atype-video-jwplayer nostick=\"true\" playlisturl=\"https:\/\/cdn.jwplayer.com\/v2\/playlists\/fCzRqMW8?tags=7d2a93c4-5097-45d2-997f-935c9753846b\" poster=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/video-poster-7d2a93c4-5097-45d2-997f-935c9753846b.jpg\" aspectratio=\"16 \/ 9\" mute autostart=\"false\"><\/atype-video-jwplayer><\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the purposes of this article, we are using a <a href=\"https:\/\/us.rapid-stop.com\/product\/rapidstop-tourniquet\/\" target=_blank>Rapid Stop Tourniquet<\/a>, designed and developed by Aero Healthcare. Leveraging MIT brains, along with subject medical experts, they have developed a ratcheting tourniquet with only three simple steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Place Rapid Stop as high up the bleeding limb as possible<\/li><li>Pull the D-Ring until snug<\/li><li>Lift ratchet lever until bleeding stops<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are literally dozens if not hundreds of different kinds of tourniquets on the market. All of which follow very basic principles developed by the original improvised tourniquet. Before there were manufactured tourniquets, there was a technique using a dressing or bandanna tied snugly around the extremity along with a winless (like a stick) allowing a person to twist and crank the bandanna even tighter in order to stop blood flow. Everyone should know how to a tourniquet works in case you don\u2019t have one. It\u2019s not a bad idea to have a tourniquet at home, in your vehicle, or even in your man bag or purse. Let\u2019s face it, all bleeding eventually stops. The smart ones have a tourniquet, the rest bleed out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/us.rapid-stop.com\/product\/rapidstop-tourniquet\/\" target=_blank>Shop Rapid Stop Tourniquet, $35.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>Sightline Media Group, LLC writes about products and services to help our readers navigate when shopping online.
