The goal of this clinical trial is to compare usability and performance of automatic tourniquets (AUT) and standard mechanical tourniquets (CAT) in healthy adults. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Are AUTs effective in occlusion of blood flow * Are AUTs easy to use Participants will be asked to place AUT and CAT on their upper limbs and lower limbs (8 applications overall). Following each application, the following parameters will be assessed: 1. Limb blood flow 2. Ease of use Researchers will compare the results of the AUT and CAT to see if AUT is as effective as CAT in blood occlusion, and if AUT is easy to use as the CAT.

Ramat Gan, Israel
RECRUITINGTime to distal limb arterial occlusion as assessed by Doppler
Time to distal limb arterial occlusion as assessed by Doppler is recorded
Time frame: 60 seconds
Safety of using automatic tourniquets
Safety issues, specifically peripheral limb numbness will be assessed via questionnaire. Scale is from 0 to 5, 0 is "No numbness", 5 is "Severe numbness"
Time frame: Will be assessed via questionnaire up to 5 minutes following the intervention.
Usability of using automatic tourniquets
Usability of using automatic tourniquets will be assessed via questionnaire up to 5 minutes following the intervention. Scale for ease to secure the tourniquet is from 0 to 5, 0 is "Very difficult to secure", 5 is "Very easy to secure"
Time frame: Ease of use will be assessed via questionnaire up to 5 minutes following the intervention.
