Hey Eddy ... long time no see.

A tourniquet is (from dictionary.com)
A device, typically a tightly encircling bandage, used to check bleeding by temporarily stopping the flow of blood through a large artery in a limb.

I'm sure you know what one is...you just didn't know the English word for it. Its the device you use to stop severe bleeding from major arteries....can be as simple as a ripped up shirt or a belt or something.
