They are typically applied around an arm or leg to create a tight seal, preventing blood flow and life-threatening hemorrhage in high-risk situations like combat or industrial accidents.
These devices are regulated as medical instruments, often requiring compliance with safety and performance standards. They are usually supplied pre-packaged for immediate use in emergency kits, with clear instructions for proper application and removal to avoid complications.
