manual

Applied to single bones. (Applied to Biceps bone in the arm, to the thigh bone in the leg) Tourniquet should be applied in serious and life-threatening bleedings that cannot be prevented otherwise. Tourniquet is only needed in case of a large vein (artery) cut. Tourniquet should be positioned a little above the wound, in a way not to contact the joint and the wound.
