Use the MBV Tutorial to learn about its application and removal

Note the difference in color between the feet. The MBV removes the blood (exsanguinates) and blocks it from re-entering (tourniquet). The time limit for safe use is 120 minutes.

Important TIPS on applying the MBV

  1. Take shoes off. No need to remove pants.
  2. If there is a bleeding leg injury, apply on the injured leg first. The MBV will serve as TOURNIQUET if rolled up higher than the injury.
  3. If there is a fracture and instability of the leg, apply AXIAL TRACTION. This means pull the foot distally while rolling the MBV up. This requires an assistant.
