Frequently Asked Questions

 

What is the SWAT-T tourniquet and why do I need it? ▼

The SWAT‑T tourniquet is a non‑latex, highly sterile, disposable elastic band made for instant severe bleeding control using a “Stretch, Wrap, Tuck” method. It is CE/UKCA compliant, has a shelf life of up to 7 years, can stay secure when wet or dry, and can be used for military, EMS, workplace, and civilian settings and environments, allowing for a versatile usage range.

How do I use the SWAT-T tourniquet? ▼

To use the SWAT-T tourniquet in a severe bleeding emergency, begin by positioning the tourniquet approx. 5 cm above the wound, stretch the band, and wrap firmly crossing printed tension guides. After that, tuck the end underneath the band. Allow arterial occlusion by turning ovals into circles. After the tourniquet has been used, it should be disposed of immediately.

Can the SWAT-T tourniquet be used wet or in extreme temperatures? ▼

This tourniquet is able to stay highly secure when either wet or blood soaked, and has passed lengthy durability tests in boiling water as well as sub‑zero (−53 °C) environments. The tourniquet is also highly resistant to UV and abrasion.

How long is the SWAT-T shelf life and what are the storage requirements? ▼

This tourniquet has an optimal shelf life of up to 7 years. When not in use, it should be stored in an ambient, dry, cool environment to keep the best level of hygiene, sterility and integrity.

Do I need specialist training to use the SWAT-T? ▼

Minimal training is advised and required for this tourniquet. Many leading suppliers and UK HSE trainers tend to include it in training courses, along with CPR using CPR dummies, due to its simplicity: stretch, wrap, tuck.
