Abstract
A self-regulating tourniquet has a pressure source, a pressure applicator apparatus associated with the pressure source and operative to apply pressure therefrom to a limb and a pressure regulator associated with the pressure source and the pressure applicator operative to restrict the pressure transferred from the pressure source to the limb to a designated maximum pressure applied to the limb. The pressure source and the pressure applicator may be separate modules that are adapted to be engaged by connecting means and establish gas passage from the pressure source to the pressure applicator.
Claims11
A self-regulating tourniquet which includes:
- a pressure source;
- pressure applicator apparatus associated with said pressure source and operative to apply pressure therefrom to a subject limb;
- and
- a pressure regulator associated with said pressure source and said pressure member, operative to restrict the pressure transferred from said pressure source to the limb to a designated maximum pressure applied to the subject limb.
A self-regulating tourniquet which includes:
- a pressure source of liquified gas;
- pressure applicator apparatus associated with said pressure source and operative to apply pressure therefrom to a subject limb;
- and
- liquified gas acting as a pressure regulator, associated with said pressure source and said pressure member, operative to regulate the pressure transferred to the limb to a maximum pressure of the steady-state of the liquid/gas phases.
