PRESSURE-ADJUSTABLE STERILE TOURNIQUET

Abstract

This invention relates to a device adapted for use on the upper extremity, using a pressure-adjustable system, that is typically applied to the lower extremity and is used to temporarily stop blood flow to a limb (arm or leg) in the field of surgical medical sciences, specifically in orthopedics and traumatology, particularly in lower extremity and hand surgery.

Description

1 TARIFF PRESSURE-ADJUSTABLE STERILE TOURNIQUET Technical Area 5 This invention is in the field of surgical medical sciences, specifically in the orthopedics and traumatology department. especially in the fields of lower extremity surgeries and hand surgery, a more Sterile tourniquets applied to the lower extremities with adjustable pressure system. It relates to a device adapted for use on the extremities as well. 10 State of the Art In orthopedics and traumatology, during lower and upper extremity surgeries. Various tourniquets are used for bleeding control and surgical comfort. Air-powered 15 Air tourniquets or sterile tourniquets are the main types of tourniquets used. Tourniquets; due to their inability to be sterile and their inadequacy in lower extremity surgeries around the knee. Because it cannot be placed proximally, it can restrict the surgical field and This can compromise sterilization. Sterile tourniquets, on the other hand, are easy to apply. and although it allows us to use the surgical field more comfortably, 20 Due to its unpredictable pressure characteristic, it can lead to neurovascular damage and muscle problems. weaknesses, rehabilitation difficulties, or persistent post-operative problems It can cause pain. Description of the Invention 25 This statement explains that the pressure-adjustable sterile tourniquet is a better solution for the issue. in order to facilitate understanding and without imposing any limiting effects It is explained. The present invention satisfies the aforementioned requirements and overcomes all the disadvantages of 30 pressure-adjustable sterile system that eliminates and provides some additional advantages. It is related to the turnstile. 2 The primary purpose of the invention is to prevent bleeding that may occur during surgical operations. The goal is to reduce and keep the surgical field dry and clear. Another purpose of the invention is to improve the surgical area during surgical operations. The aim is to ensure clear vision and facilitate the surgeon's view. 5 Another aim of the invention is to reduce the operation time and the risk of complications. It is to bring down. The invention is in the field of surgical medical sciences, specifically in the orthopedics and traumatology department, and particularly in 10 In lower extremity and hand surgery, in addition to the existing sterile tourniquet. by integrating a pressure-adjustable system, it is suitable for our purpose. The pressure-adjustable sterile tourniquet device is a sterile tourniquet with adjustable pressure. The invention, in its most preferred form, is a pressure-adjustable sterile tourniquet. 15 The elements of the invention are as follows: 1. Turnstile 2. Pressure Adjustment Mechanism Figure 1 shows a rigid pressure-adjustable sterile tourniquet. A valve is attached to the end of a semicircular arrow made of fabric that transmits pressure to the lower part. The desired amount of pressure is applied to the tourniquet using a hand pump with a pressure gauge. part that can inflate air (1), 25 created in small, medium and large sizes tourniquet part (2), fabric stocking part of sterile tourniquet (3) and circular section by pumping empty air into it, the pressure can be adjusted as desired, and the air The rubber band, when pressed, narrows the circular section in the center, creating a tourniquet effect. This is the representation of section (4).
