Patent ID: 6960223

Claim:
A tourniquet device configured to be applied to a limb and tightened with a single hand: a first tourniquet loop being single-handedly adjustable in length for coarsely tightening the loop around the limb including: two opposing slip buckles; a first belt extending between and through the slip buckles, each slip buckle allowing the belt to be pulled freely through it in a direction which shortens the length of first belt between the slip buckles but preventing the first belt from traversing through it in the opposite direction; and means, gripable by a single hand, for pulling the first belt through the slip buckles in respective directions which shorten the length of first belt between the slip buckles; and a second tourniquet loop having a tightening mechanism configured for selectively single-handedly shortening the second tourniquet loop in length for further tightening the loop enough to at least restrict blood flow in the limb.
