CitizenAID Tourni-Key Plus - Limb Bleed Control Kit

CitizenAID Tourni-Key

Designed and manufactured by citizenAID®, the new Tourni-Key PLUS combines a novel tough, lightweight plastic device, a triangular bandage to act as an effective tourniquet to stop severe bleeding from an injured limb and an anti-pinch card to stop skin bunching.

Supplied in a resealable ziplock bag.

Tourni-Key is a low-cost device to help stop limb bleeding.

Tourniquets stop life-threatening limb bleeding. Tourniquets that are used by civilian medical professionals and the military are generally expensive and require formal training. citizenAID's clinical team has developed a simple, intuitive device that can be used by anyone to save a life. Tourni-Key is an effective and affordable solution.

Empowering people to save lives

If you are caught in a deliberate attack resulting in multiple casualties, citizenAID can give you the framework to make a difference. Our system shows you how you can stop life-threatening limb bleeding with a Tourni-Key.

citizenAID and tourniquets

Tourni-Key can be used with a triangular bandage if you have one available; otherwise, it is designed to transform items of everyday clothing, such as a tie or cotton/silk scarf, into an improvised tourniquet. It is ok to improvise if you need to save a life.

When to use a tourniquet

A tourniquet is recommended in two circumstances.

1. When a casualty has an amputated or mangled limb

2. Where a casualty has severe bleeding [that is not controlled by packing the wound and firm pressure]

Training to use a tourniquet – safety first

citizenAID recommends that you never train on each other – always use a simulated limb. You can improvise a training limb with a rolled magazine or a towel inside a trouser leg or jumper sleeve. When you follow the rules that a tourniquet is only applied for life-threatening bleeding [that cannot be controlled by other means], then you can only ever do good.
