OMNA Q&A

Why would I want a tourniquet in my leash?
Having a tourniquet integrated in your leash enables you to quickly mitigate extremity life threatening bleeding on yourself or others.

Why using the leash cord is bad?

  1. Has no mechanical advantage for tightening.
  2. Cannot be secured in place.
  3. The narrow cord can cause additional tissue and nerve damage.

How quickly can a person bleed to death?
A person can bleed to death in as little as 3 minutes.

How long can a tourniquet be worn?
A tourniquet can be worn for roughly 3 hours, with 2 hours being the optimum time to not exceed.

What is the likelihood of complications from using a tourniquet?
Tourniquets that have been properly applied and have been worn within the range of 1-3 hours have a low risk of complications.

If I use a tourniquet won’t I lose my arm or leg?
Not necessarily, if you do lose a limb it is likely that you would have lost the limb due to the trauma that caused the injury, and not because you applied a tourniquet. What the tourniquet does is ensure you won’t die from blood loss caused by the trauma.

When should I apply a tourniquet?
A tourniquet should only be applied for life-threatening bleeding.

What about tourniquets for non-surfers?
Our Amphibious Tourniquet was specifically designed for non-surfers, and is ideal for all other water sports, beach activities, and almost any adventure or profession. It can be worn on the body, or equipment with unparalleled convenience and comfort.
