Tourniquet clip and tourniquet

A tourniquet clip having first and second portions, each of the first and second portions connected, mounted or adapted to connect to or mount on a tourniquet strap at different positions on the tourniquet strap, so as to form a closed loop when so connected or mounted, the first and second portions joined, directly or indirectly, by at least one bendable frangible portion, said at least one bendable frangible portion intended to be broken by a user;

• the at least one bendable frangible portion extends in a first direction from a first section to a second section of the tourniquet clip;
• the first and second sections are rotatable relative to each other about a line extending transverse to the first direction by bending the bendable frangible portion from a rest position, at which the at least one bendable frangible portion is not bent, in a first rotational direction toward a second position at which first parts of the first and second sections are:
• a) closer to each other than at the rest position or
• b) engage each other and prevent further rotation in the first direction;
• wherein movement of the first and second sections from the rest position in the first rotational direction:
• I. to or toward the second position breaks the at least one bendable frangible portion, or
• II. to the second position and application of additional force urging the first and second sections to move in the first rotational direction breaks the at least one bendable frangible portion.
