RapidStop Tourniquet
So this is the RapidStop tourniquet, it's a slightly different torniquet from others because it's a ratchet-type system. The advantage of this, it's very fast to apply it over a limb. The same techniques will work with tourniquets where you physically put them on. But the advantage of this one is, as it is ratchet, it's a very small angle amount, you are not turning it 180 degrees round, so it makes it much faster to apply. And also you can make small adjustments and you do not need to apply so much physical pressure because the way this is geared, so it's really quick to get it onto the limb. So what I will do, is now I will pass it over to Ben, he's going to show you how quick it can be put on. So pop that round your upper leg. So the torniquet can be applied on yourself or on somebody else, no problem with that. Very, very fast to apply, and if it needs more pressure, you can literally just clip it and get more pressure on there. Literally, just display it to which way across. As far as applying on him as well, work exactly the same. The key thing with this is it's the speed of it, because in a lot of applications you are working and you do need to apply these yourself very, very fast. You can put this on anywhere around the 10-second mark, sometimes quicker, depending on how it is set up. So as you can see on here, is the main ratchet system here, and this is just the secure bar with the lugs in it, which is actually secure. Once you apply it... Obviously, in the real world, you would not take that off, you would always leave that on for the emergency medical services to take that off later on. But within the training world, we can release the pressure, but you would not do that in the real world, you just want to leave that on. Remember all the standard things like noting the time it's been applied, making sure the emergency services know exactly what you have done all apply. And you can tuck the spare bit of tourniquet out of the way as well, should you need to. We have shown you how to put it on the leg, we are just going to show how you can self-apply the RapidStop onto the arm. With this, rather than hook it over the limb, you can make a loop to start with, slide that up and it's very, very quick to apply. So that's very, very fast application. It's slightly quicker than the leg because you can make the loop, you are not actually having to clip it on, but you are still looking at under 10 seconds you can get the tourniquet put on, which gives you more time to move onto the next patient. And this is an orange tourniquet, we also did the mid-black, and also there's a blue version, which is a training version. But the actual tourniquets themselves are exactly the same. So if you did get stuck and you have only got the blue one, you can still use that, it works exactly the same.
