I presume you are latex allergic, since you asked this question. There are tourniquets that contain latex and those that are latex free. It depends on what your institution purchases. You should be able to ask the person applying the tourniquet whether it is latex free and if not, request a latex free tourniquet be used on you.

What is the difference between a blue tourniquet and a yellow tourniquet?
While there may be exceptions for the most part yellow or tan colored tourniquets are made from latex and blue tourniquets are made from nitrile or similar synthetic.
