Abstract

Over the centuries, surgeons have battled with the problem of blood loss in trauma and surgery. In major limb surgery, amputation for example, the assistant would apply digital pressure over the artery or a tourniquet would be used – a pad over the arterial pressure point would be bound down with a bandage, tape or rope tied around the limb. However, this had a tendency to slip and the limb could not be exsanguinated efficiently.
