The Dry Earth Tourniquet represents a significant advancement in hemostatic technology. This innovative, elastic polymer bandage provides superior performance compared to traditional rubber tourniquets, overcoming their limitations in extreme temperatures and maintaining consistent grip in challenging environments. Also known as the KrovStop P-Tourniquet (Narrow Modification), it's designed for temporary hemorrhage control and achieving hemostasis, and can also be used for equipment fixation.
Unlike smooth rubber tourniquets that can slip in wet or sweaty hands, the Dry Earth features a unique, textured surface reminiscent of dry, cracked earth. This provides exceptional grip and prevents slippage, even under pressure or in adverse conditions. The texture is designed to be "soft" and non-abrasive, ensuring comfortable application without the need for gloves. This superior grip significantly reduces the chance of accidental loosening during application, especially crucial in high-stress emergency situations.
Dry Earth is engineered for exceptional strength and elasticity, exceeding the capabilities of traditional rubber tourniquets. It boasts a 300% elongation rate (stretching to at least 3 times its original length), providing ample length for even the most challenging applications. Its high tensile strength allows it to withstand strong pulls and sudden jerks – ideal for untrained users who might inadvertently apply excessive force during application. Moreover, its resilience ensures it maintains its integrity across a vast temperature range, from -30°C to +130°C, unlike rubber tourniquets that can become brittle in cold weather or degrade in extreme heat.
Dry Earth builds upon the success of our "Rough Marmalade" tourniquet, representing a significant upgrade (essentially Marmalade 2.0). While sharing the textured surface, Dry Earth offers enhanced compression and even greater durability. Its firmer, more resilient material requires more effort to stretch, making it particularly beneficial for less experienced users who might otherwise over-extend a standard tourniquet. This increased stiffness prevents accidental tearing, common with cheaper rubber options.
First responders, military personnel, outdoor enthusiasts, healthcare professionals, and anyone requiring a reliable and durable tourniquet for emergency situations.
Proper tourniquet application training is essential. Always refer to established protocols and seek professional medical assistance as soon as possible after applying a tourniquet.
