Is it safe to use a tourniquet? Will I lose my limb?

When applied correctly and removed within two hours, tourniquets have a very low risk of causing permanent damage or limb loss. Modern commercial tourniquets are designed to be safe and effective for temporary hemorrhage control.

What is the priority in a tactical medical situation?

The absolute number one priority in tactical medicine is the rescuer's own safety. Only after ensuring the scene is safe can you then focus on the casualty's safety and provide care.

Where can I buy legitimate tourniquets to avoid fakes?

To ensure you get authentic medical gear, purchase directly from the manufacturer's website or a trusted dealer who sources directly from the manufacturer. Avoid purchasing from general online marketplaces where counterfeits are common.
