AustraliaJust saved my brother's life
This product just saved my brother's life this morning. He tripped and fell through a plate glass door and sliced his forearm including arteries and tendons. His neighbour rushed over with this tourniquet and kept him alive until the paramedics got there. He lost 35% blood, but it could have been more if not for this. It works! Thank you team TacMed AU - forever grateful.
