A rotating pneumatic tourniquet system is a medical device used to temporarily restrict blood flow in a patient's limb. By cycling pressure, these systems aim to decrease the overall volume of blood circulating through the body, which helps reduce the workload on the heart.
These systems consist of a pneumatic cuff, a gas pressure source, and an automated control unit that manages inflation. The device uses multiple cuffs and valves to shift the pressure point periodically, which is intended to protect the limb from tissue damage or necrosis during use.
