Not sure of the terminology, we use a rubber band like tornoquet strap. This indeed is good for arterial bleeding and can only be released by a doctor as it can lead to loss of limbs and even death due to the "bad/toxic blood" rushing back into the system and poisening it.

Looks like a standard bandage but is rubber, this strapped around the pressure point/artery area and tightened .
