This 1 minute TH-cam Shorts explains how to apply an Improvised Tourniquet.
************************************
************************************
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

Thank you sir! I saved a dogs life by learning cpr through yt videos. I stay learning things just in case, you never know when you may need these skills.

[@Steroplast]

That's great! It's always good to be prepared. Our goal is to help demystify first aid products and processes for as many people as possible!

In the military they usually just teach you to place it 4 inches above the wound. And if the wound isn’t visible, Just place the tourniquet at the top of the arm, or leg and quickly tighten the tourniquet and write down the time as soon as the tourniquet is placed. This is pretty similar and a great explanation for people learning how to make a tourniquet.

You're welcome!

Don’t use a plastic disposable pen it will break. So will a pencil. Maybe a metal pen would work and you might get lucky with a sharpie marker like the video.

The pen should be well away from brachial artery. You want clean firm pressure over the artery. You don't want to chance the twist point pressurizing the whole arm minus the brachial artery.
