Description

An electric pneumatic tourniquet is a medical device used to temporarily restrict blood flow to a limb during surgical procedures or medical interventions. It consists of an inflatable cuff or band, a pressure regulator, and an electric pump or pneumatic system. During surgery, the tourniquet cuff is placed around the limb proximal to the surgical site and inflated to a specific pressure, using either an electric pump or a pneumatic system. This pressure effectively compresses the blood vessels in the limb, stopping blood flow beyond the cuff. Electric pneumatic tourniquets offer advantages over manual tourniquets, such as precise pressure control and automatic inflation and deflation. They are commonly used in orthopedic, vascular, and plastic surgery procedures to create a bloodless surgical field, improve visualization, and reduce blood loss during surgery. Proper use and monitoring of tourniquet pressure are essential to prevent complications such as nerve injury, muscle damage, and ischemia-reperfusion injury.
