Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2019123025A1] A tourniquet cuff apparatus is provided comprising an inner sheet joined to an outer sheet to form an inflatable cuff. The outer sheet consists of a material having a fastening surface. An elongated, securing strap (20, 22) attached near a first end of the cuff, is formed to curve around and conform to the shape of a limb to which the cuff is applied, the strap including a second fastener component that can releasably engage the outer fastening surface thereby to enable engagement of the second fastener component on the strap with the outer fastening surface. An engagement barrier (50) is applied to cover a region of the outer fastening surface between a distal side edge and a proximal side edge near a second end of the cuff and prevents engagement of the securing strap to a first fastener component within the region of the outer fastening surface covered by the engagement barrier, wherein the engagement barrier has a barrier shape matching the first fastener component within the region. The engagement barrier (50) further provides a visible indication of contact with a fluid such as blood or a cleaning liquid.
