Cost @$20.00 3. RECON Medical. Best & most Expensive @$25.00 +$6.00 shipping. They all work for their intended purpose, TO STOP THE FLOW OF BLOOD FROM A MAJOR BLOOD VESSEL . I would suggest that anyone using a Tourniquet get proper training and to practice using it on yourself and someone else.

Thanks for the recommendation on Recon Medical - for once I'm in luck and they're on sale.... looks like excellent quality.
