Abstract
A tourniquet cuff (10) includes a first layer (20), a second layer (40), and a third layer (60). The first layer (20) has an inner side (22) impermeable to air and the second layer (40) has a first side (44) impermeable to air. The inner side (22) of the first layer (20) and the first side (44) of the second layer (40) cooperate to define a first cavity (96) formed to receive a gel-like material (15) therein. Further, the third layer (60) has an inner side (64) which cooperates with a second side (42) of the second layer (40) to define a second cavity (94) formed to receive pressurized air. The tourniquet cuff (10) adjustably secures about a patient's limb such that the gel-like material (15) is positioned between the patient's limb and the second cavity (94) to uniformly and comfortably distribute pressure around the patient's limb.
