Description

n- DESCRIPTION

11-1 Introduction

The present invention relates to the method of using a hemorrhagic stop device for a lower or upper limb of the human body, offering the possibility of using two different application techniques thanks in particular to the two openings on the tissue strip and with the sliding lace that characterize it.

ll-2-State of the art

Some tourniquets are designed to be applied by the person with the lesion. In such devices, tourniquets can be applied with one hand, for example, to stop bleeding on the arm opposite that hand.

In the use of certain tourniquets, there is a placement by passage of the affected limb, then one pulls on the end of the strap which will have to be scratched. Then turn the rigid plastic rod until the bleeding stops, then block the rod at the stop device attached to the tourniquet.

In the use of certain tourniquets, there is an establishment by passage of the affected limb, then one pulls on the end of the strap in order to make the first tightening. We then turn the metal rod until the haemorrhage stops and we lock the rod at one of the triangular rings which is the rod stop device. Then tighten the screw which will prevent the strap from coming loose.

The existing tourniquets are all equally effective depending on the area to be tied. However, they only offer one single installation technique.

Unlike existing tourniquets, this tourniquet offers the possibility of using two different application techniques thanks in particular to the two openings on the fabric strip and the sliding lace that characterize it. The first technique is a classic use of the tourniquet without using the openings located on the fabric strip and in the second technique, the two elongated strip openings are used.

li-3-Summary description

The classic technique of using the tourniquet without making use of the openings located on the strip of tissue consists in: Passing the strip under the limb, flattening the length of the strip, making a simple knot, then a second, not tight, passing between the two knots the available rigid bar, tighten the second knot on the rigid bar, turn the rigid bar by making the maximum turn necessary

Page 2 until the haemorrhage stops; maintain the tightening by the iron bar with one hand and with the other hand bring back the sliding lace to block the iron bar at one of its ends thanks to the bridge on the lace. Make knots in eight (8) around the rigid bar then secure the tourniquet by placing the end of the rigid bar in one of the 3 notches of the sliding lace. In case of bleeding, check the tightness and tighten if necessary or add another tourniquet The second technique consists of: unfolding the length of fabric, do not remove the sliding lace keep the rigid bar at hand, pass the end of the strip of fabric through the slot on the other end, pass the loop made at the level of the upper limb to the area to be tied up, pull with your valid hand the end of the strip in order to carry out an initial tightening, bring the sliding lace towards you, quickly recover the rigid bar, pass the rigid bar through the turnstile hole. With the rigid bar installed, do the maximum number of turns in order to compress the large blood vessels to stop the bleeding. Tightening being done very quickly, block one end of the rigid bar under the bridge of the sliding lace, then with the dexterity of '' one hand, make knots in eight (8) around the rigid bar then secure the tightening of the tourniquet by placing the end of the rigid bar in one of the 3 notches in the sliding lace. Immediately assess the effectiveness of the pose by checking that the bleeding has stopped. In the event of bleeding, check the tightness and tighten if necessary or add another tourniquet, once the tourniquet has been effectively applied; note the time of laying on you visibly using a marker or chalk or blood. If this is not the case, transmit the time of installation to the emergency services who will take over. Never loosen the tourniquet, only competent personnel should do so after assessing the situation.

ll-4-Detailed description

The rescue device (fig: 4/4), comprising: a rigid clamping bar (fig: 3/4), a lace (fig: 2/4) and an elongated band (fig: 1/4) allows two techniques deposit :

• the classic technique in which the turnstile hole and the slit of the band are not used and requiring the help of both hands on oneself (lower limbs) or on a victim: lower and / or upper limbs) which consists of:

at. Take the device (fig: 4/4) in its container or in your pants or jacket pocket;

b. Detach the lace (fig: 2/4);

vs. remove the rigid bar (7) from its location along the length of fabric;

d. keep the rigid bar (7) available close to you;

e. Do not remove the lace from the band (1);

f. Unfold the length of fabric and make sure it is not knotted before placement;

g. Pass the strip (1) under the limb, at the root of the limb, about 10 cm or with one hand over the wound, but always at the level of the thigh or arm;

h. Flatten the length of the strip (1);

i. Tie a simple knot, then a second loose knot;

j. Pass the rigid bar (7) between the two nodes;

k. Tighten the second knot on the rigid bar (7);

l. Turn the rigid bar (7) making the maximum turn necessary to stop the hemorrhage;

(You will be very sore, but the goal is to compress the large blood vessels to stop the bleeding, thus saving your life);

m. Maintain the tightening by the rigid bar (7) with one hand and with the other hand bring the sliding lace (5) to block the bar at one of its ends thanks to the bridge on the lace;

not. Make knot turns, turn the rigid bar (7) then secure the tourniquet by blocking the rigid bar with one of the 3 stop notches (6) located on the lace;

o. Immediately assess the effectiveness of the pose by checking that the bleeding has stopped;

p. In the event of bleeding, check the tightness and tighten if necessary or add another tourniquet;

q. Once the tourniquet has been placed effectively, note the time of installation on you or on the person being looked after visibly (use a marker or a chalk or blood, etc.), otherwise transmit the time of installation to the emergency services which will take over;

r. Never loosen the tourniquet. Only qualified personnel should do so after assessment of the situation (trained doctors and paramedics);

The technique in which the turnstile hole and the slit of the tape are used and requiring the use of one hand or both hands on a member consisting of:

at. Take the device in its container or in its pants pocket or its jacket;

b. Detach the lace (fig2 / 4) by pulling on its end. Do not remove the sliding lace from the fabric strip;

vs. Remove the rigid bar (7) from its location (4), placed along the length of fabric;

d. keep the rigid bar (7) available close to you;

e. Unfold the length of fabric and make sure it is not knotted before placement;

f. Pass the end of the strip of fabric (1) through the slit (2) located on the other end;

g. Pass the loop made at the level of the upper limb to the area to be tied up, at the root of the limb or about 10 cm or with one hand above the wound, but always on the arm;

h. With your valid hand, pull the end of the strip to carry out an initial tightening;

i. Bring the sliding lace (fig.: 2/4) towards you; ,

j. Quickly recover the rigid bar (7);

k. Pass the rigid bar (7) through the hole (3) located at one end of the strip of tissue, make the maximum turn necessary to stop the bleeding (you will be very sore, but the goal is to compress the large blood vessels to stop the bleeding, thus saving your life);

l. The tightening is done very quickly, so you can lock one end of the rigid bar (7) under the bone bridge of the sliding lace;

m. then with the dexterity of one hand make 8 turns around the rigid bar ”(7) then secure the tourniquet by blocking the rigid bar (7) thanks to one of the 3 notches (6) located on the sliding lace ;

Claims (3)

III- CLAIMS A method of using a hemorrhagic arrest device for a lower or upper limb of the human body, comprising: an elongated band, a sliding lace and a rigid bar of about 12 cm, the elongated band having a length of d.

A method of using a rescue device for a lower or upper limb of the human body according to claim 1 wherein the tourniquet hole and the slot in the band allow the rigid bar to pass for tightening by turning it. until the bleeding stops 3. Method of using a rescue device for a lower or upper limb of the human body according to claims 1 and 2 wherein the sliding lace is used to keep the withers tight by making figure-eight knots (8) around the rod and to block one of its ends by introducing it into one of the notches of the lace.
