Locate the site of injury
*
and place the
SAM
®
XT
around the limb, directly onto
the skin 2-3 inches above the wound.
If the site of the injury is not
easily seen, place the
SAM
®
XT
as “high & tight” as possible on
the injured arm or leg. When the
situation permits, re-evaluate
the injured limb and place the
SAM
®
XT
directly onto the skin
2-3 inches above the wound.
*
Fix the metal windlass rod inside the
Windlass C-hooks and confirm that
bleeding has stopped. If bleeding continues,
try to further tighten the tourniquet with
additional twists of the metal windlass rod.
If this fails to stop the bleeding, apply a
second
SAM
®
XT
side by side next to the
first and ensure bleeding has stopped.
