Cinch Tight Compression "H" Bandage
I recently got engaged in a topic over blowout kits, something that caught my eye through a reccomendation was a civilian package that is sold, and contains something called a Cinch Tight Compression "H" Bandage. After I googled the item in question I came to some conclusions.
The Cinch Tight Compression "H" Bandage looks interesting. But I would have to get my hands on it before I could really state my opinions. My inital concern would be its ease of use. It clearly states the capeablity to apply with one hand, but how much longer would the process be, over a simple tourniquet, if you were under such conditions? It jumps out at me that a simple tourniquet achieves the same effect, with a more consistant desired result.
The bandage on it looks like it can protect from outside debree, but if it does cut off blood flow in a tourniquet like effect, is there a purpose to the bandage it also applies over the wound? The tourniquet alone should give you the hemostatsis, or control needed for something out of a blowout kit.
I've searched over the site for this particular bandage but it doesn't come up. If memory serves me right bandages like this one have been covered before. I was curious to know anyone have and first hand experince using these? Earlier versions perhaps, or have knowledge of there use in a tactical enviroment that makes it suited for a blowout kit?
