The use of a rubber hemostatic tourniquet allows you to quickly and effectively stop external bleeding in injuries to the limbs. However, prolonged presence of the tourniquet on the limbs in case of delayed evacuation can lead to severe tissue damage below the place of application of the tourniquet. The study found that the functional changes of the median nerve when applying the developed model of hemostatic tourniquet (TKB-1) are significantly less pronounced in comparison with the use of rubber hemostatic tourniquet. The established results confirm the low risk of complications with the forced prolonged imposition of the tourniquet.
