A device for exsanguination from the hand and/or arm is described. In one embodiment, the device includes a gripping portion gripped by the hand of a patient holding the device. There is a cupped portion, and a roll of elastic wrapping material. The cupped portion has an inner space for receiving the roll and a slot for feeding out a length of wrap from the roll. The wrap material is fed out of the slot and wrapped around the hand of the patient so that the constrictive force pushes the blood out. A tourniquet is then applied and the wrap removed. In another embodiment, the device has a gripping portion with an end that is slotted to receive and anchor an end of a roll of wrapping material. With an end anchored, the material is unrolled and wrapped from the anchored end down around the hand gripping the device.
