Abstract
Since first used by H. Cushing in 1904 for creating a bloodless field the pneumatic tourniquet has become an essential element in orthopaedic surgery, enabling the surgeon to perform meticulous dissections with a significant reduction of bleedings. These advantages are especially appreciated in micro-, hand and reconstructive surgery, arthroscopic surgery and fracture treatment.
