ABSTRACT:
Limb surgery and intravenous regional anesthesia are facilitated with a tourniquet cuff apparatus that includes an inflatable member constructed in a way that restricts the tendency of the cuff to roll along the limb to which it is applied. The locating strip is included for permitting a user to accurately and consistently apply the cuff at a fixed distance from an anatomical reference site. In one embodiment two overlapped inflatable cuff bladders are used for distributing pressure over a greater length along the limb for lowering the maximum pressure needed to be applied to the limb.
