title: A convenient infant tourniquet.
abstract: A simple, readily available blood pressure cuff designed specifically for neonates, infants, and small children is recommended for use in hand surgery as a tourniquet. Most institutions that have pediatric medicine or surgical departments have these as stock, and thus the problem of illfitting standard cuffs can be avoided where a tourniquet is needed.
