Limb tourniquets, manual and single-use, are designed to be wrapped around a patient’s arm or leg to temporarily restrict blood flow. Clinically, they’re primarily used in emergencies—such as trauma or blood sampling—to control bleeding or isolate a limb for procedures.
These devices are typically classified as single-use and may vary in design (e.g., Velcro straps or buckles) but generally avoid latex. Regulation and supply depend on local medical device laws, with classification varying by jurisdiction—always check local guidelines before use.
