Child (Pediatric) Ratcheting Medical Tourniquet

The m2 Child/Pediatric RMT is designed for extremity hemorrhage control on patients weighing under 120 lbs with limb circumferences as small as 2.5". It uses a lower-tensile-strength ratcheting buckle specifically sized for pediatric and geriatric limb diameters — standard adult tourniquet designs cannot safely generate appropriate occlusion pressure on smaller circumferences.

The ratcheting mechanism provides precise, adjustable pressure control. The safety stop prevents over-tightening, which is clinically relevant for pediatric application where limb anatomy is more susceptible to pressure injury. Single-hand application is possible with training. Audible ratcheting confirms engagement and allows non-visual verification in low-light or high-stress environments.

This tourniquet should be pre-staged in any kit where pediatric casualties are anticipated — school security, family IFAK, pediatric-capable trauma bags, EMS, and LEO response.

Training note: Tourniquet application on pediatric limbs requires specific training. Placement, pressure, and time-to-occlusion differ from adult application. Practice with this specific device.
