A clip adapted for use with an elongate strap for forming a tourniquet, the clip including first and second parts adapted to be connected to the strap, the first and second parts adapted to be releasably connected together,
- the first part adapted to be secured to the strap at a first location on the elongate strap;
- a second part adapted to be mounted on the strap away from the first location whereby when the first and second parts are connected together the strap and the first and second parts form a closed loop;
- the second part having a passageway adapted to have the strap pass therethrough between first and second ends of the passageway, whereby the distance of the second part from the first location is variable;
- at least part of the passageway defined by first and second portions of the second part;
- the second part including a strap grip adapted to, in use, releasably grip the strap;
- the strap grip comprising a first and second grip portions movable relative to each other to vary the separation between at least parts of the first and second grip portions to enable gripped of the strap between the first and second grip portions;
- wherein the first and second grip portions are integrally formed.
A tourniquet assembly comprising an elongate strap and a clip including first and second parts connected or mounted to the strap, the first and second parts adapted to be releasably connected together,
- the first part adapted to be secured to the strap at a first location on the elongate strap;
- a second part adapted to be mounted on the strap away from the first location whereby when the first and second parts are connected together the strap and the first and second parts form a closed loop;
- the second part having a passageway adapted to have the strap pass therethrough between first and second ends of the passageway, whereby the distance of the second part from the first location is variable;
- at least part of the passageway defined by first and second portions of the second part;
- the second part including a strap grip adapted to, in use, releasably grip the strap;
