Mayo Clinic nurse Maria Flor and her father Randy Therkilsen with the tourniquet that came in handy.

With Father’s Day coming up, everyone wants to give Dad something he can really use. So, how about a gift that might even save his life? That was the idea behind a Mayo Clinic nurse’s gift; a tourniquet, of all things! Here’s Dennis Douda for the Mayo Clinic News Network. [TRT 2:29]

Journalists, a broadcast quality package and a how-to video demonstrating proper tourniquet use are available in the downloads.
