ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A separable fastening device is disclosed which is adapted to encompass at least one member in gripped relation and to facilitate the simultaneous application of cinching and fastening forces which place the fastener in tension and are uniquely retained in the fastening device. The fastening device has a first flexible strap having on one surface of a first strap section a plurality of upstanding hook and loop-type engaging elements, a second strap section having on a surface opposite the first surface a plurality of mating upstanding hook and loop-type engaging elements, with means being provided to connect the first and second strap sections, and retaining means connected to the free end of the first strap, the retaining means including a retaining strap and connecting means with the latter defining an opening configured to receive the free end of the second strap section which is remote from the retaining means. The opposed positions of the mating engaging elements are such that when the fastening device is positioned about a member with the free end of the second strap section extended through the opening in the retaining means, at least retaining the retaining means in a fixed position and applying cinching forces to the free end of the second strap, causes the device to grip the member, and simultaneously pressing the surfaces of mating engaging elements in face-to- face relation provides face-to-face engagement of the strap portions to retain the grip thereby applied. In the preferred embodiment the separable fastening device comprises a tourniquet utilizing a retaining means either in the form of a pull-ring or a relatively short retaining strap to retain one end of the fastening strap while the other end is cinched.
