T for tourniquet.<br><br>If you apply a tourniquet, you must mark a "T" so that it is plainly visible to Emergency Medical personnel, and also the time that the tourniquet was applied so they know how long it's been on.

I think you are correct. We use a Canadian version of this application and it costs us $4 per unit at wholesale. The one we use is an elastic bandage similiar to what is used for sprains complete with thick blood pads.<br><br>Mariner.

Hello!<br>I dont know if its the same but i´ve read somewhere about it. Its supposed to have a plastic clip on the roll of bandage. This makes it possible to apply the dressing with one hand(?!) and to use it as a torniquett. As I said, I only read about it but if it were to work, it sure woud be good. On the other hand, ordinary first-aids/field dressings/trauma pads (whats the correct term?) are probably cheaper. I think that the Israeli type were more expensive than the normal types.<br><br>Stefan, Sweden<br>(Nurse-in-training)

You're welcome. I'm just surprised I beat Beachdoc and Trusbx to the punch. ;-)
