Surgical pneumatic tourniquet system

Definition

A device assembly intended to occlude the blood flow and to obtain a bloodless field during limb surgery or amputation. It typically consists of a pneumatic tourniquet cuff, a source of gas pressure used to inflate the cuff, and a control unit, i.e., a pressure indicator and regulator. By using a double cuff and a manual switching or automatic valve, the pressure point is regularly changed to avoid tissue damage or necrosis. The device will also typically include a timer or elapsed-time meter. It may also be used in combination with intravenous local anaesthesia to limit the area affected by the anaesthesia.
