1. A device for exsanguinating a portion of an extremity, the device comprising:
- i) an elastic torus configured to exsanguinate a limb when surrounding an extremity and pulled at a first linear rate in a first direction;
ii) a handle operatively associated with said elastic torus; and
iii) at least one elongate attachment element mechanically coupled to said torus to convey pulling force from said handle to said torus,wherein a length of said elongate attachment element between said handle and said torus elongates at a different rate than said first rate, during said pulling, further comprising an elongate flexible tube wound around said elastic torus and wherein said at least one elongate attachment element further comprises at least two elongate attachment elements;
at least one external strap configured to be juxtaposed along an external longitudinal surface of said elongate tube; and
at least one internal strap configured to be juxtaposed along an internal longitudinal surface of said elongate tube.

Abstract
Disclosed is a device for exsanguinating a portion of an extremity. The device comprises an elastic torus configured to ensanguine a limb when surrounding an extremity and pulled at a first linear rate in a first direction; and at least one elongate attachment element mechanically coupled to the torus to convey pulling force from the handle to the torus, wherein the a length of the elongate attachment element between the handle and the torus elongates at a different rate than the first rate, during the pulling.

9. A device for exsanguinating a portion of an extremity, the device comprising:
-
i) an elastic torus configured to exsanguinate a limb when surrounding an extremity and moving linearly along said extremity, wherein said elastic torus is configured to twistingly rotate while moving linearly; ii) an elongate flexible tube wound around said elastic torus, said elongate flexible tube configured to progressively unwind from said elastic torus and surround said extremity portion as said elastic torus is moved in a proximal direction; and iii) at least one handle operatively associated with said elastic torus, said at least one handle configured to move said elastic torus along said extremity in both; a proximal direction; and a distal direction;
wherein said handle includes;i) at least one external strap configured to be juxtaposed along an external longitudinal surface of said elongate tube; and ii) at least one internal strap configured to be juxtaposed along an internal longitudinal surface of said elongate tube; and wherein said elongate flexible tube is configured to progressively rewind on said elastic torus as said elastic torus is moved in a distal direction. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)
