ONLY TO BE USED FOR TRAINING
THIS IS NOT A LIFESAVING TOURNIQUET. It should not be used in a real-life trauma situation. The materials and construction are woefully sub-par. Parts of it started to break immediately. It LOOKS like many well-known tourniquets, but it is NOT on-par with the real thing.<br /><br />That said, it's inexpensive and mimics the CAT-type ones close enough for training purposes. I used it at a class this past weekend and was pleased that I didn't need to put my real medical gear through adverse use conditions. A box of these would be fine for something like a Stop The Bleed course if budget is a concern.<br /><br />Again, THIS IS NOT A LIFESAVING TOURNIQUET. Training use only.
