Arterial tourniquets, pneumatic, are inflatable cuffs designed to control or stop blood flow in a limb during emergencies. They are primarily used by emergency medical services to manage severe bleeding when direct pressure isn’t sufficient, helping stabilize patients before transport or further treatment.
These devices are typically single-use and regulated as medical tools for trauma care. They may require compliance with safety standards for emergency use, though classification varies by jurisdiction. Availability often depends on local EMS protocols and supply chain requirements.
