Description
I wanted a tourniquet for my workshop after hearing horror stories about people needing them. I realize, and hope, I'll probably never need it, but I didn't want my last 90 seconds consciousness to be me thinking “I really should have bought one!”.
I wanted it to be accessible and allow me to grab it one handed. It was sitting out for a while, but tourniquet, like everything in my workshop, had things placed in front of it and got covered in sawdust. This is my solution.
I included a sharpie holder, to allow me to write a time on the tab (or more realistically my arm), to allow medical professionals to decide if it is safe to remove. This is standard practice when applying a tourniquet.
The white label only requires a single filament change due to printing separately. I'd suggest not using a red cross unless you wish to violate the Geneva Convention - it's a protected symbol!
