Abstract
An inflatable sling tourniquet has been developed to control arteries during surgical procedures and has been assessed clinically and experimentally. It has been found to give precise and reliable control over normal and arteriosclerotic arteries and to be extremely atraumatic in practice. It is particularly useful when catheters or shunts are to be passed up the occluded artery.Keywords
