摘要: A tourniquet system comprising: an inflatable occlusive band for encircling a limb of subject and inflating to apply pressure the encircled occlude blood flow into distal band, wherein inner surface faces limb; inflation regulation means responsive variable signal regulating which is inflated producing representative inflated; applied sensing located at predetermined location fixed relative by in direction normal location; pressure-regulating maintain near reference pressure. The may include comparison comparing difference between pressures represented generating alarm if exceeds preassigned limit.
