Abstract
An improved type of tourniquet is disclosed herein. The tourniquet includes an elongated elastomeric body and potentially a buckle. The buckle is secured to the tourniquet via a looped portion formed by the elongated elastomeric body looping backwards onto itself. The looped portion passes through an opening of the buckle to secure the buckle to the tourniquet. The tourniquet also includes an integrated spike. The integrated spike comprises a base and a shaft. A width of the base is wider than a width of the shaft, and a length of the shaft is greater than three times a thickness of the elongated elastomeric body. The length of the shaft is sufficient to enable the spike to pass through the elongated elastomeric body at least three times. The base and a portion of the shaft can be embedded within the molded section.
