Contents of the citizenAID Tourni-Key Kit
The kit comes sealed and includes:
- Tourni-Key: A plastic device that hooks around the bandage, allowing you to apply pressure.
- Card: Positioned between the skin and bandage to prevent pinching.
- Instructions: Step-by-step guide on how to apply the Tourni-Key.
- Triangular bandage: A material bandage used to occlude blood flow.
Using the citizenAID Tourni-Key
- Unroll the triangular bandage, ensuring it's wide enough to cover the injury site without being too tight.
- Wrap the bandage around the injury and tie a knot.
- Place the card between the skin and the bandage to protect the skin from pinching.
- Lay the Tourni-Key on top of the knot and secure it with another knot.
- Wind the Tourni-Key to tighten and apply pressure. Once the desired tightness is achieved, hook the plastic back on itself to hold it in place.
- Secure the ends of the Tourni-Key by tying them around the bandage.
- Note the time the tourniquet was applied and ensure it is not removed until emergency services arrive.
If bleeding continues, tighten the Tourni-Key by turning it an additional 180 degrees and securing it on the opposite side.
