A tourniquet belt is a piece of phlebotomy equipment that is used to squeeze large blood vessels to stop blood loss. It is typically a band of nylon or plastic that is tightened over the upper arm, 3 to 4 inches above the site to be injected.
A tourniquet works by :
Applying pressure to the arm
Slowing down venous blood returning to the heart
Temporarily occluding blood vessel walls
Distending veins due to the pooling of blood
Making veins more visible and easier to palpate
Preventing blood flow to the heart
Causing the vein beneath the tourniquet to become enlarged
