Abstract
This invention presents a non-pneumatic tourniquet device designed for quick, easy application to an injured digit, such as a finger or a toe. One preferred embodiment comprises an frame, which is affixed to a flexible layer or membrane, and allows for an opening for the insertion of the injured digit through the device. This easy to use apparatus temporarily checks the bleeding or blood flow by applying an external pressure or a compression to the blood vessels in an appendage and also allows for exsanguination of the injured area.
