RapidStop® Tourniquet: Quick and Reliable Haemorrhage Control

Introduction

The RapidStop® Tourniquet uses advanced technologies to enable rapid, intuitive, and easy one-hand self-application. Application is even faster when a responder uses both hands to apply the tourniquet to a patient.

Effective Haemorrhage Control

The RapidStop® Tourniquet reliably and rapidly achieves full occlusion, making it suitable for controlling haemorrhage from injuries to both arms and legs. It is ideal for various sectors, including the military and first aid.

Unique Ratchet System

Unlike other tourniquet brands, the RapidStop® Tourniquet features a ratchet system rather than a rotary windlass, which can be difficult to use. It is available in three types: orange or black for responder use, and blue for training purposes.

How to Use the RapidStop® Tourniquet

To use the RapidStop® Tourniquet:

  1. Place it around the limb.
  2. Pull it tight.
  3. Use the ratchet to apply the necessary pressure.
