Dr. Thomas Lambert devised this pattern and patented it in January 1862, using a 1 ½” wide herringbone twill strap to link, fasten and tighten concave metal pads on the affected limb to stanch blood flow.

This is an excavated metal “pad” from the tourniquet set. Curved base with two strap brackets. Typical “dug” surface rust but in otherwise remarkable condition. A modern string tag claims it was recovered at Andersonville.  Perfect for any Civil War medical collection.  [jet]
