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
