Tourniquet GEN 2 by TQDNIPRO

A tourniquet (clamping system) is a life-saving medical aid that can stop massive, life-threatening bleeding from arms or legs. It compresses the blood vessels in the affected body region, completely interrupting the blood flow. There are now various tourniquets of different designs available on the market. Tourniquets are not only important in military conflicts but can also save lives in traffic accidents, mountain accidents, or in life-threatening situations—provided one knows how to use them. The TQ DNIPRO GEN 2 is a modern second-generation tourniquet designed for effective control of life-threatening bleeding in the upper and lower extremities. It was manufactured in Ukraine by TQ DNIPRO, tested under extreme conditions, and has proven itself in both civilian and military settings.

The TQ DNIPRO GEN 2 from TQ DNIPRO is 4 cm wide and measures 180 x 55 x 40 mm when folded. Weight: 110 g. Synthetic fibers are used for the inner and outer straps, which are characterized by high resistance to moisture, dirt, and extreme temperatures.

The TQ DNIPRO GEN 2 is available in three colors: black, blue, and orange. All colors are fully functional tourniquets and can be used at any time. 

The 94 cm long tourniquet features a Velcro closure that allows it to be applied to a variety of limbs and securely fastened in the required position.

The tourniquet is fully certified according to MDR 217/745 with quality management systems 13485:2016 and 9001:2015. The TQ DNIPRO GEN has a NATO Stock Number (NSN 6515-61-017-6778). This NSN allocation underscores the product's acceptance in international supply and logistics systems.

Here is the rear view of the platform. It is made of durable yet flexible plastic. This allows the tourniquet to optimally adapt to the limb and exert optimal pressure during the clamping process due to its width. The integrated padding reduces the risk of skin bruising that can occur under maximum compression.

The notched buckle serves to securely attach the strap and the stopper. It is made from metal fittings and can withstand extreme physical stress. The serrated buckle prevents slippage of the strap under high tension.

The TQ DNIPRO GEN 2 features a 15 cm long, ribbed windlass (ratchet) made of aluminum, ensuring high strength and durability. The crank can be operated easily even while wearing gloves.

The C-shaped crown is made of durable yet flexible plastic and is large enough to accommodate the windlass (ratchet). It can be inserted easily even with effort and ensures secure attachment of the ratchet. 

This universal Velcro closure works even in wet conditions, ice, and various types of contaminants, such as biological and technical fluids, dirt, or grass.

The crank closure (crown) features a marking that allows the application time to be recorded.

CONCLUSION

The TQ DNIPRO GEN 2 from TQ DNIPRO is a highly effective and robust tourniquet. It has proven to be a reliable alternative to established systems in both military and civilian sectors. Its key features and benefits lie in its stable construction, higher safety, special patient comfort, and good value for money.
