How to Apply the Improvised Tourniquet:

Step 1: Apply the tourniquet 2-3 inches above the wound

Step 2: Place bandage above the wound and tie one over-hand knot

Step 3: Place long thin implement above the bandage and tie a second knot

Step 4: Keep rotating the implement until the bleeding stops

Step 5: Wrap excess around the implement and tie a third knot to secure

Step 6: Remember time of application to inform emergency services



• Never remove a tourniquet yourself. It can cause serious complications
• If the bleeding doesn’t stop, apply a second tourniquet above the first
• Do not cover tourniquet so it is visible to emergency services
