TQs are strong, long, and easy to adjust. With good padding between the limb and the splinting material they can provide a good lashing. Because they are already designed to go around a limb, and they are easy to adjust, you can use them for a pressure bandage. You do not have to tighten them all of the way. You just need the gauze and other material to put under it to press on the right spot.
