The CRoC was designed with military personnel primarily in mind, because they’re the one who’d likely have to worry about getting shot in awkward places. But the device works for any part of the body where it would be difficult or impractical to apply a tourniquet, like the chest, abdomen or neck. As for the average consumer, maybe you just got mugged near your house. Or you have a really deep shaving injury. Either way, this could save your life.

Get shot there and you are pretty much dead within seconds.

If someone is, say, putting all their weight on their knee jammed onto the artery, they might buy enough time to apply this. Your odds aren’t good though.

Friday, August 26, 2011 at 12:31 AMThis is not a penis tourniquet. Technically not even a tourniquet. More like a “clamp” as it is refered to.
Stew for some reason military does always use acronyms normally. More like port-manteaux, they just mash bits and pieces of words together, like socom, secdef etc…
