title: Scalp tourniquet.
abstract: A pneumatic tourniquet with special features for the scalp region has been devised. A safe and well controlled surgical ablation can be performed with shortened operative time. The new tourniquet permits a larger access to the scalp and easier applicability to different cranial sizes. The tourniquet development, clinical indications, and illustrative cases are demonstrated.
