TOURNIQUET????

Have 3 different makes: 1. RATS from REfactorial Good if you need to apply it to your self. Has a one-handed application, inexpensive,cost $16.24 2.C-A-T from Composite Resources..486 Lakeshore Parkway, Rock Hill,SC. 29730 This one is 1.5 inches wide difficult to apply to yourself. 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. BE PROFICIENT LEARN WHAT & HOW TO PERFORM EMERGENCY-CARE...NO OJT Exsanguination Time is @ 2 minutes.... Tom Kelly
