Versatile<\/strong><\/h4>\n

This versatile tourniquet can be used on adults, children and even animals! It\u2019s ideal for limb sizes as small as 20mm, and upwards.<\/p>\n

Easy<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Simple and easy 5-second application means that it\u2019s great for mass casualty incidents, as no real training is required. Clear instructions are printed onto the device so anybody can apply it.<\/p>\n
