Tourniquet
Definition:
(n.) An instrument for arresting hemorrhage. It consists essentially of a pad or compress upon which pressure is made by a band which is tightened by a screw or other means.
Example Sentences:

(2) Cooling of the necrotic limb with the application of a tourniquet and general nonoperative treatment were conducted in preparation for amputation.
(3) The data suggest that slow injection with the high tourniquet inflation pressure is better, although the differences in leakage with an intact tourniquet were not statistically significant.
(4) The influence of preanalytical factors such as food intake, posture, use of tourniquet and freezing and storing samples is great and necessitates standardisation of specimen collection.
(5) Serum myoglobin levels have been found to be elevated for a few hours after removal of a tourniquet.
