Esmark Tourniquet Overview
McKesson Esmark Compression Bandages are designated as a specialized tourniquet to cut off the arterial supply for a surgical procedure. The bandage applies consistent compression using a wrapping technique that controls blood loss for the extremity being operated on. The tourniquet bandages feature a smooth finish that's gentle on the skin, with a self-adherent backing that keeps the Esmark tourniquet securely in place.

These bandages provide compression during limb exsanguinations for bloodless operations. These tourniquet bandages are available in two width options and two length options to accommodate different extremity sizes.
