The "tourniquet man" is the unidentified man that Jack applied a tourniquet to in the "Pilot, Part 1" to stop his leg from bleeding. Boone also referred to him with the same nickname. In "Pilot, Part 1" his legs were crushed under a piece of plane wreckage. Locke, Jack, and another survivor pulled him out of the wreckage. Jack removed the tourniquet later that evening. The following day Jack commented to Boone that he ("tourniquet man") should be fine.

Trivia

In the book Endangered Species, Faith Harrington says that his leg has been amputated, an event that is not depicted in the television episodes.
Dale Radomski, who first portrayed Tourniquet Man, appears in Season 3 as part of the Others background cast, as a guard at the quarry who confronts Sawyer in his escape attempt. ("The Glass Ballerina") It is most likely that Radomski is intended to portray two different individuals, and was cast in both roles by virtue of his stunt abilities.
For new footage from the day of the crash of Oceanic Flight 815 shot for "Exposé", background extra Kamakani De Dely portrayed the Tourniquet Man. The reason is unknown; it's possible that Radomski simply wasn't available for the shooting of the episode.

Kamakani De Dely's face is visible for only a few frames in one of the several scenes featuring the tourniquet man in "Exposé".

For most of the scene featuring Tourniquet Man (and the death of Gary Troup), recycled footage from "Pilot, Part 1" was used, although De Dely was visible for a few frames in a brief cut inserted after previous-used footage of Radomski. De Dely is also visible in promotional photography for the episode (image), in which background survivor Wayne Geiger also replaces the Fuzzy Moody as the person helping Locke move tourniquet man.
