Curaplex Tourniquet, SAM XT, Extremity Tourniquet, by CURAPLEX, Blue 1/EA

As advertised! Works great!

Excelente torniquete, lo estuve revisando y parece original, se siente una gran diferencia respecto a los torniquetes chinos tipo CAT, este si aprieta la extremidad desde que se coloca y con muy pocas vueltas ejerce una gran presión, si lo recomiendo

Easy to use

I have been an EMT since 2003, a full-time firefighter since 2013, and teaching emergency response for over 15 years. This is in my opinion the best windless style tourniquet on the market.The Good-One of the most common mistakes I see in training is students tend not to get all of the slack out of the strap before tightening the windless. This really eliminates this issue by having an buckle which gives an audible click and 2 prongs lock the strap to prevent it loosening.-The windless is metal, solid, and long enough to easily grip. It has gnarling, which makes easy to grip even with gloves and when wet.-The lockup on the windless is the same style as the NAR CAT tourniquet, except beefed up and feels more solid and secure.-Price is average for quality. I am do not feel ripped off, unlike with many of the other emergency medical supplies out there.The Bad-Only one I have in this category is the same issue I have with all CAT style tourniquets: they are difficult to use on small individuals. For small people or children, you may still need to either use a improvised tourniquet or something like a SWAT or RATS tourniquet system. I carry two of the SAM XT and two of the RATS Gen 2 tourniquets in my kit, which handles the limitations of both.Overall:Buy this tourniquet. Two of them. Today.

Most important thing in applying a tourniquet is making sure the strap is tight before you start turning the windless.With the audible “click” when you apply it, there is no question it is tight enough before continuing to tighten with the windless.
