Use the EED Tutorial to learn about its application and removal

Note the difference in color between the feet. The EED 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 EED

1.    Take shoes off. No need to remove pants.
2.    If there is a bleeding leg injury, apply on the injured leg first. The EED 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 EED up. This requires an assistant.
