NCT ID NCT06725602
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares how well different tourniquet models block blood flow when placed on the arm, forearm, leg, and thigh. Forty healthy volunteers will each receive eight tourniquet applications over three days. The goal is to see if placement location affects how quickly and completely blood flow stops, which could improve emergency bleeding control guidelines.
