A tourniquet is a constricting or compressing device, used to control venous and arterial circulation to an extremity for a period of time. Pressure is applied to temporarily occlude the blood vessels. It is generally used as a tool for a medical professional in applications such as cannulation or to stem the flow of traumatic bleeding, especially by military medics. The tourniquet is usually applied when the patient is in a life-threatening state as a result of continuous bleeding.
