Tourniquet padding and methods of its use with a tourniquet are provided. The tourniquet padding comprises a soft, compressible material with an interrupted adhesive areas that are applied against the skin. The tourniquet can be made with and without an internally positioned padding material. The tourniquet padding has a width wider than the tourniquet to provide an extension of material along the distal edge with adhesive that is applied to the skin, and an overlying layer that is turned onto and adhered to the tourniquet to provide a protective surface and keep the tourniquet from slipping distally down the limb during use. The overlying layer can include perforations to divide it into sections. As the tourniquet inflates and deflates, the overlying layer flexes to accommodate the change in thickness. The tourniquet padding can also be crimped or pleated along a proximal edge to accommodate a range of circumferences of extremities. The device can also include a layer of plastic or other liquid-repellent material over the leading or distal edge to protect it from becoming wet during a medical procedure, or affixed to the overlying layer to protect the tourniquet from becoming wet or soiled.
