Abstract
An adaptable partial circumferential tourniquet is disclosed that allows for broad application to hemorrhage sites on a human patient. The tourniquet includes a baseplate having an adaptable size with a pair of depending arms that extend lateral from each side of the baseplate. A cable and ratchet arrangement allow for the extension of the depending arms to form a semi-circumferential enclosure around a tourniquet site with the ability to cinch or constrict around the tourniquet site. A V-shaped bladder with integrated side portions expands once the tourniquet is arranged on a patient to apply pressure to tissue resulting in vasculature occlusion. Due to the unfolding segmented nature of the depending arms, the tourniquet has broad application to different body tissue sites. The based plate also includes ports, slots, and openings to allow for other medical procedures to proceed even after tightened positioning and inflation of the tourniquet.
