ABSTRACT:
A tourniquet apparatus (10) has an elongated, distensible tourniquet member (12), and a disposable tourniquet cover (40) comprised of an outer liquid-permeable layer (60), an inner absorbent padded layer (70), and a liquid-impermeable layer (80). Adhesive strips (51) and (53) on the tourniquet cover back side (42) peripheral side edges (46) and (48) allow the cover to be easily positioned and removed from the tourniquet (12). Blood or other bodily fluids are trapped in the padded layer without soiling the tourniquet (12). Cover (40) can also be used to protect reusable blood pressure cuffs from soiling.
