Team from University of Michigan creates easier to use tourniquet to help save lives

(Excerpt from article on Local 4 News Detroit website)

“A car crash, a hunting accident, and a mass shooting are just a few of the situations where a tourniquet can save lives.

Tourniquets are used to stop the bleeding caused by a traumatic injury to an arm or leg. The devices are standard issued for military members, but most civilians only have a vague idea of what they are or how to use them.

A team from the University of Michigan hopes to change that and save lives in the process.”
