Self-application on the upper limb
Pinch the fingers of the injured arm together, place the tourniquet around the fingers, and push slightly just to insert it around the fingers.
Now, pull the device up to the arm by pulling on the straps only. Do not pull it outward, but close to the arm, upwards. Pull up to the highest point on the arm.
Pay attention to the time you finished wearing the tourniquet and write it down on the yellow sticker provided in the pouch. Stick it on a visible area of your body.
In the case of a bone fracture, a second person is needed to assist in the application.
Even if the wound is close to the wrist, the tourniquet must reach the highest possible point on the arm.
Wait a minute or two and check that the blood flow stops, there is no blood loss, and the hand turns white (it's easier to check by comparing the hands/fingers with the other hand).
Self-application on the lower limb
Remove the shoe of the injured leg. Place the tourniquet around the toes of the injured leg. Note that the handles should be towards the upper and lower part of the sole. Push a little just to get it around the fingers.
Now, using only the straps, pull the device up the leg. Do not pull the straps outwards, but only close to the leg, upwards. The tourniquet can be placed 15 cm from the ankle or on the highest possible point on the thigh preferably near the groin.

Upper limb application by another person
Pinch the fingers of the injured arm, place the tourniquet around the fingers, and push slightly just to insert it around the fingers.
