Slishman Tourniquet Trainer

See What Other Trainers Can't Show

Most tourniquet trainers teach placement. This one teaches what actually happens underneath.

The Slishman Tourniquet Trainer exposes the internal mechanics of haemorrhage control—showing how pressure moves through tissue, how vessels collapse, and why tourniquet effectiveness depends on far more than simply tightening a strap.

It turns an invisible process into something learners can see, feel, and understand.

Real Tissue Behaviour, Not Just Shape

• Built using dual-density silicone, the model replicates the difference between muscle and soft tissue resistance.

• Firmer silicone represents muscle groups, while softer layers simulate surrounding tissue. This contrast allows learners to observe how compression travels unevenly through the limb rather than distributing uniformly.

• It makes one thing obvious very quickly:

• Tourniquet pressure is not symmetrical—and neither is its effect.

How Tourniquets Actually Work

This trainer directly challenges a common assumption in training: that tightening a tourniquet applies equal circumferential pressure.

In reality, force is concentrated beneath the windlass or ratcheting mechanism.

The Slishman Tourniquet Trainer makes this visible by showing:

• Directional pressure under the application point

• Asymmetric tissue compression

• Variable vessel collapse depending on depth and location

• Why placement precision determines effectiveness

• Learners don’t just apply a tourniquet—they see why it works or fails.

What Learners Actually Take Away

This is not memorisation-based training.

It develops understanding of:

• Why vessels medial to the femur are harder to compress

• Why deeper bleeding requires significantly higher pressure

• Why veins collapse before arteries

• Why some tourniquet designs outperform others

• Why “tight enough” is not a reliable endpoint

• How tissue density changes compression outcomes

These are the decisions that matter when real haemorrhage control is required.

Built for Training Environments

The trainer includes a secure table-edge clamp for stable mounting during instruction, scenario work, and repeated practical demonstrations.

It is designed for:

• Instructor-led classrooms

• Simulation environments

• Tactical and pre-hospital training

• Skills stations and assessment scenarios

Ideal For

• First Aid and CPR instructors

• Emergency medical services

• Military and tactical medicine

• Nursing and paramedic education

• Simulation centres and universities

• Search and rescue training teams

Understanding Before Application

Most training tools focus on repetition.

The Slishman Tourniquet Trainer focuses on understanding.

When learners can see how pressure interacts with anatomy, they make better decisions under stress—and apply haemorrhage control techniques with greater accuracy and confidence.

That difference is what matters when failure is not an option.
