ACT-Tourniquet (Orange/Black)

The ACT-Tourniquet is a simple, cost-effective and intuitive pull and stretch tourniquet for self-application or for other casualties. The ACT-Tourniquet provides a quick and effective solution to stop massive bleeding and save lives in an emergency situation.

• Designed to allow public access to bleeding control in a compact affordable manner
• Packed pre-looped for easy self-application, the loop can be separated to attach the tourniquet around the leg or an entrapped limb
• Material can be written upon to record time of placement
• Manufactured from bespoke high visibility elastic and military grade webbing materials
• Allows for circumferential compression that occludes blood flow to the affected limb from the first pull

The application is as simple as Apply, Compress and Tuck:

Apply (Leg)
Unbuckle and re-buckle around lower limb, place high

Compress
Tighten Strap through buckle and wrap around limb as tight as possible

Tuck
