ABSTRACT:
A head encircling tourniquet comprises a frame section for surrounding a work area of the scalp connected to an opposing pneumatic pressure applying section by a pair of headsize adjustable members. The frame section has a scalp contacting, uniform pressure applying, liner and is formed with a relatively large central opening providing access to the work area while the frame section and liner controls hemostasis in the work area by pressure exerted by the pneumatic section. Opposite elongated longitudinal sides of the frame and liner are resiliently movable toward each other to close an incision or wound located in the work area for suturing while the tourniquet remains in operative position on the head.
