    AbstractComplications from lower extremity pneumatic tourniquet use can range from transient to devastating. A major factor that can lead to complications is simply the applied site pressure. Recent advancements in tourniquet design, including increased width and curve allow for consistent hemostasis at pressures as low as 200 mm. Hg for single bladder pneumatic cuffs applied at the ankle, and 250 mm. Hg applied at the thigh. The Zimmer Automatic Tourniquet System (A.T.S.) Low Pressure Cuffs were followed at these minimal pressures with promising results.
