ABSTRACT:
An auto-release tourniquet apparatus has a strap, a housing having a first slot therein suitable for receiving a first end of the strap and a second slot suitable for receiving another portion of the strap therein, and a strap releasing mechanism positioned in the housing. The strap releasing mechanism serves to release at least one of the first and second ends of the strap from the housing after a predetermined period of time. A solenoid is positioned in the housing and acts upon the first end of the strap so as to allow for the ejection of the first end of the strap from the first slot after the predetermined period of time. A strap tensioning mechanism is associated with the second slot of the housing for allowing the strap to be suitably tensioned.
