Summary
Place the tourniquet around the limb and weave the strap through the buckle. Alternatively, in tourniquets that come preassembled, they can be slipped over the limb. If possible, clothing should be removed prior to placement. If this is not possible, avoid placing tourniquet over bulky clothing or pockets.
