Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Currently, most Western armed forces recommend the use of the tactical tourniquet in combat for the management of tourniquetable hemorrhage.
The SOFTT® tourniquet (Tactical Medical Solutions, Anderson) is the tactical tourniquet currently in use by the French armed forces. As the contract will soon come to an end, the question of its renewal arises.
The purpose of this study is to compare 4 commercially available tactical tourniquets in healthy volunteers.
The hypothesis of the research is that one of the 4 tourniquets compared is faster to set up than the others.
