A surgical pneumatic tourniquet system is a medical device used during limb surgery or amputations to temporarily stop blood flow and create a bloodless operating field. It consists of an inflatable cuff, a pressure source, and a control unit with indicators to monitor and regulate inflation, ensuring precise and controlled occlusion while minimizing tissue damage.
These systems are typically regulated as surgical devices, with classification and supply varying by jurisdiction. They may include features like dual cuffs for pressure rotation, timers, or compatibility with local anesthesia to enhance surgical precision and patient safety.
