Using a glove as a tourniquet is not effective because gloves are typically made from thin materials that cannot withstand the pressure needed to occlude blood flow effectively. They can easily tear or slip, failing to provide the necessary constriction to control severe bleeding. Additionally, gloves lack the structural integrity and adjustability of proper tourniquets, which are designed to be tightened securely around a limb. For effective hemorrhage control, it's crucial to use a proper tourniquet that is specifically designed for this purpose.
