Written Description of the Best Mode for Carrying out the Invention Figure 1
A band 100 of material defining a number of tourniquets for restricting venous flow of blood, such as tourniquet 101 and 102, is shown in Figure 1. The band 101 is formed from a sheet of resilient material to facilitate a degree of stretching during use of the tourniquets. In the present example, the tourniquets are made from latex, but in other embodiments other materials such as polymers, man-made rubbers, etc. are used instead.
At regularly spaced distances along the band, the band is provided with lines of perforations 103 such that by breaking the band along a line of perforations a tourniquet at the end of the band may be separated from the remaining tourniquets.
For convenience of storage and dispensing of the tourniquets, the band 100 is wound onto a cylindrical tube 104 to form a roll 105. The roll 105 may be supplied in a box-like holder allowing the tourniquets to be dispensed through a suitable hole in a side-wall. Thus, the end tourniquet is pulled out of the holder through the hole and then pulled away from the next tourniquet in the band, thereby breaking the band along the line of perforations and separating it from the remainder of the band. Alternatively, the roll may be mounted within a dispensing apparatus by supporting the tube 104 such that it may rotate during dispensing.
In an alternative embodiment, the band is supplied without the perforations 103. In this instance, the roll is mounted within dispensing apparatus and the tourniquets are dispensed through an aperture which has an associate cutting device. Thus, a user requiring a tourniquet pulls out a length of the band and cuts the band with the cutting device to separate a tourniquet from the remainder. The tourniquet may be suitably marked at positions where the band may be cut.
Figure 2
A portion of the length of the band 100 is shown in the plan view of Figure 2. The tourniquets of the band 100 are connected end to end. Thus, like other tourniquets in the band 100, tourniquet 102 has a front end 201 connected to the rear end 202 of the preceding tourniquet, in this case tourniquet 101 , and a rear end 203 connected to the front end 204 of the next tourniquet in the band, in this case tourniquet 205. In the present embodiment, the lines of perforations 103 include a larger aperture 206 which assists the breaking process used to separate one tourniquet from the next.
Figure 3 and 4 The tourniquet 102 is shown in the plan view of Figure 3 and perspective view of Figure 4 after its removal from the band 100.
The tourniquet 102 is in the form of a strip of material that defines an aperture 401 located towards its rear end 203. The tourniquet has a broader portion 402 which includes the aperture 401 and a narrower portion 403 adjacent its front end 201. The narrower portion 403 is dimensioned such that it is able to be passed through the aperture 401.
The narrower portion 403 is provided with a number of latching elements, such as latching elements 404 and 405, that are spaced along the narrower portion and extend outwards from said portion 403. In the present embodiment, each latching element has a backwards sloping leading edge which facilitates the movement of the narrower portion 403 and latching elements through the aperture 401 during use. Thus, for example, latching element 404 has a leading edge 406 which extends outwards and backwards towards the rear end 203. The leading edge makes an angle of 45 degrees with the longitudinal axis of the portion 403, but in other embodiments the leading edge makes an angle of between 30 degrees and 70 degrees with the longitudinal axis of the portion 403, with angles of 40 to 50 degrees being preferred.
In addition, each latching element has a backward angled trailing edge which increases the resistance to the portion 403 being pulled out of the aperture 401 during use. Thus, for example, latching element 404 has a trailing edge 407 which extends outwards and backwards towards the rear end 203. In the present embodiment the trailing edge makes an angle of 45 degrees with the longitudinal axis of the portion 403, while in other embodiments the leading edge makes an angle of between 90 degrees and 30 degrees with the longitudinal axis of the portion 403, with angles of 40 to 50 degrees being preferred.
A leading portion 408 of portion 403 at the extreme front end of the tourniquet 102 is left free of any latching elements. Consequently, the leading portion 408 may be manually pushed through the aperture 401 and then the latching elements may be pulled through by pulling the leading portion 408.
The band 100 is made from a straight parallel edged strip of resilient sheet material by perforating to produce the lines of perforations 103 which define individual tourniquets. The band is also cut to define an aperture 401 towards one end of each tourniquet and cut to produce a number of equally spaced slits 409 which extend inwards from each of the edges, thereby defining latching elements along each side of a narrow portion 403.
It should also be noted that the slits, and therefore the latching elements, along each edge of the strip are symmetrically arranged. In the present case, the strip is provided with eleven slits extending inwards from each edge to define eleven latching elements on each side of the narrow portion 403. The tourniquet 102 has a width of 3 centimetres and a length of approximately 35 centimetres. However, tourniquets having other widths of up to 5 centimetres are envisaged with lengths of between 30 and 40 centimetres.
In an alternative embodiment, tourniquets similar to tourniquet 102 are produced as individual items rather than in a continuous band. These may be produced from a band in a similar manner to tourniquet 102 but instead of producing the perforations 103, the band is cut into separate items.
Figure 5
The function of the latching elements, such as element 404, is illustrated in Figure 5, which shows the narrow portion 403 partly pulled through the aperture 401. As shown, once a latching element has been pulled through the aperture 401 its shape defined by its backwards sloping trailing edge 407 resists movement back through said aperture.
In use, the tourniquet 102 is passed around a part of the body, such as an arm, to which it is to be applied. The leading portion is pushed though the aperture 401 and then pulled through, thereby pulling successive pairs of latching elements through said aperture. When the user believes that the tourniquet is applying sufficient pressure to the arm, they may let go of the tourniquet. The final pair of latching elements that passed through the aperture 401 then prevent the narrow portion 403 slipping back through the aperture.
Due to the simple and inexpensive construction of the tourniquets, they may be disposed of after a single use, and thereby assist in the maintenance of a clean and sterile environment.
Figure 6
An alternative band 600 to that of Figures 1 and 2 is shown in Figure
6. The band 600 is substantially the same as that of Figures 1 and 2, but each tourniquet, such as tourniquet 603, is provided with an additional pair of lines of perforations 602 extending from the rear edge 604 of the tourniquet to the aperture 401.
The lines of perforations 602 define lines along which the tourniquet may be broken during use. Consequently, when, for example, the tourniquet 603 is applied to a patient's arm and is to be released, the tourniquet may be broken along the lines of perforations to release it.
Figure 7
A further alternative tourniquet 701 is shown in Figure 7. Like tourniquet 102, this may be formed as part of a continuous band of tourniquets joined by perforated portions.
The tourniquet 701 is substantially the same as tourniquet 102 but is an example of a tourniquet having latching elements with leading edges and trailing edges set at different angles.
Tourniquet 701 is formed from a strip of sheet material which has had triangular notches 702 cut from each of its parallel edges 713, instead of slits. The notches are shaped such that latching elements 704 are formed which have backward angled leading edges 705 but trailing edges that are perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the narrow portion 703.
Figure 8
A further alternative tourniquet 801 is shown in Figure 8. Like previous examples such as 701 , this tourniquet may be formed as part of a continuous band. Tourniquet 801 is an example of a tourniquet substantially similar to previous examples but with a single set of latching elements 802, on one side of tourniquet 801. Latching elements 802 pass through an aperture in the form of a slit 803, which defines flaps 804 and 805. Flaps 804 and 805 are configured to open to allow a portion of the tourniquet to pass through. When in use slit 803 works in the same way for tourniquet 801 as aperture 401 does for tourniquet 102, in that it allows a portion of the tourniquet to pass through it and provides resistance to the portion passing out of it.
Figure 9
Further alternative tourniquets are shown in Figure 9. Tourniquet 901 has a uniform width throughout its length, and tourniquets 902, 903 and 904 have differently shaped apertures 905, 906 and 907 respectively. The apertures 905, 906 and 907 are all configured to be wider at the end furthest from the first end of the strip, and therefore closest to the latching elements. However, all these alternative tourniquets work in substantially the same way as tourniquet 102, and all have latching elements to allow a portion of the tourniquet to pass through its aperture and to provide resistance to it passing out of the aperture
