Ligature mechanism for producing tourniquet effects on limbs

摘要

This invention relates to a novel ligature mechanism for producing tourniquet effects on limbs including a casing having pivotally mounted therein a clamping lever which locks upon a first end portion of a band which passes through an aperture of the casing, a medial portion of the band forming a loop adapted to encompass a limb, a second end portion of the band carrying a fitting, and spring means releasably clampingly securing the fitting to either the lever or to the casing. Releasing means formed integral with or apart from the fittng is provided for actuating the spring to release the second end portion from either the lever or the casing.
