Why there are two tourniquets?

A single tourniquet is not always sufficient to stop massive bleeding from the limbs, especially in the thigh area, for this reason, it may be necessary to use several tourniquets side by side to create a wide zone of tissue pressure. In addition, multiple limbs can be injured at once or there might be multiple victims. There are cases when the tourniquet breaks or deforms during the tightening process, especially if it is made of materials of poor quality.
