Tourniquet is a pressing bandage which reduces the quantity of bleeding of the orthopedic surgical operation point by winding it around the arm or a leg and pressing by air pressure. The standard setting pressure of the tourniquet is vague and its setting level is entrusted to medical doctor's judgment.As a result, aftereffects such as the numbness are more likely to occur after orthopedic surgery. However the study of the influence on human body by pressing a bent using tourniquet is hardly conducted so far. For these problems, we confirmed that the living body showed a strong reaction for a change of the pressure on precedent study. Therefore we were aimed for the examination of the drive source that could make a fine adjustment of the pressure, examined whether the application of the EHD pump which we developed as a drive source of tourniquet is possible.
