US Patent:
2013011, May 2, 2013
Filed:
Dec 14, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/715998
Inventors:
Lane Michael Johnson - Tualatin OR, US
Stephen C. Melia - Hingham MA, US
Mark Douglas Smith - Damascus OR, US
Adrian Abram Polliack - Lake Oswego OR, US
Tanya Marie Stricker - Sherwood OR, US
Assignee:
The Seaberg Company, Inc. - Wilsonville OR
International Classification:
A61B 17/135, A61F 5/01
US Classification:
602 13, 606202, 602 19
Abstract:
A junctional and truncal tourniquet and a hip-girdling pelvic sling device for maintaining a desired amount of tension surrounding a person's hips and pelvis to securely support and stabilize a pelvis that has been fractured and for securing a pressure applying device to a person with a preferred amount of tension so that blood vessel-occluding pressure can be applied. Areas of mating types of fastener material such as mating hook-bearing fastener material and loop pile fastener material are arranged on the device to enable a strap to be secured at various effective lengths to provide a wide range of adjustability. The device may include inflatable bladders, and may be wrapped around a patient's torso to occlude blood vessels proximal to an injury on a limb. A bladder may be expandable in distinct tiers and may carry a separate and removable pressure-concentrating fitting. An auxiliary strap may be included and may be used to keep the junctional and truncal tourniquet in place on a patient's torso.
