The Tourniquet in Surgery

Klenerman·J Bone Joint Surg Br·1962·127 citations·Review article

|

The history of surgery is to a large extent written around the record of its technical advances. A pneumatic tourniquet is a humble instrument, when compared with many of the more complicated mechanical devices in the modern operation theatre. Nevertheless, it has played a significant role in making possible the precise operations of present-day orthopaedics. Simple tool though the tourniquet may be, its application carries many potential dangers, and it should only he entrusted to skilled hands.
