Abstract
A disposable tourniquet comprising an elongated, flat, stretchable band. The band has a pressure-sensitive adhesive face on one side of the band at one end, and a release agent on the same face of the band but spaced from the adhesive face. The tourniquet is stored with the adhesive face folded against and adhering to the release agent, and is deployed by peeling the adhesive face away from the release agent, wrapping the tourniquet about the arm and pulling it sufficiently tight, and then adhering the adhesive face to the outside surface of the band to hold the tourniquet in place.
