This K9 Tourniquet was designed to work effectively on the leg of a K9 and is meant to be placed high on the limb. The traction technology prevents the K9 tourniquet from slipping down the K9’s limb, which can cause loss of compression. Slippage is amplified when the animal is being moved and extricated. Slippage is common when tourniquets or pressure dressings designed for humans are used on a K9 instead of a K9-specific tourniquet. The K9 Tourniquet solves these slippage issues and makes application time quick.
