Жгут Эсмарха кровоостанавливающий резиновый, №1
the imposition of an arterial rubber tourniquet (Esmarch's tourniquet):
A tourniquet is applied above the site of damage to the artery so that it completely squeezes it
The correct application of the tourniquet is determined by the disappearance of the peripheral pulse on the limb and the cessation of bleeding
In order to prevent infringement of the skin, a towel is placed under the tourniquet
A strongly stretched tourniquet is applied around the base of the raised limb, which surrounds the limb 2-3 times, after which it is tied or hooked to a chain
Due to the complete cessation of blood circulation in the limb, when a hemostatic tourniquet is applied, a direct threat of tissue necrosis is created, therefore the tourniquet should not squeeze the limb for more than 2 hours
In the accompanying document of the victim and on the paper attached to the tourniquet, the time of its application is indicated
But even during these 2 hours, it is necessary to dissolve the tourniquet 1-2 times for a few minutes, squeezing the vessel with your finger, and then tighten it again
The tourniquet is made of the highest quality elastic rubber and does not include toxic or allergic components.
