The blue SICH tourniquet is a mechanical bleeding control device designed to control life-threatening extremity haemorrhage. Its construction corresponds to the technical specifications of the standard SICH model: it weighs 105 g, has an overall length of at least 93 cm, and features a highly durable PVC strap with duralumin fastening components.
The tourniquet is suitable for limbs with a diameter of 5\u201340 cm, allowing it to be applied at different locations on an extremity depending on the type of injury and bleeding site. Its robust construction and mechanical tightening system provide the pressure required to control bleeding and securely maintain the tourniquet in position.
Thanks to its compact design and low weight, the tourniquet can be conveniently stored in an individual first aid kit (IFAK), medical bag, or other bleeding control kit.
The construction and technical characteristics of the blue SICH tourniquet correspond to the standard model. However, before including this variant in a medical kit intended for real-world use, the manufacturer\u2019s intended use for the specific product should be verified.
Blue is sometimes used by different manufacturers to identify training equipment. Therefore, colour alone should not be used to determine whether a specific tourniquet is intended for actual bleeding control or training purposes. The intended use should always be confirmed using the manufacturer\u2019s information, product labelling, and accompanying documentation. <\/p>\n
