<p>A device to restrict the flow of fluid through a flexible conduit, characterised by: at least one inflatable portion (3); adjustable means (7) to secure the device around the conduit; an inlet pipe (4) to admit an inflation medium to the inflatable portion (3); an outlet pipe (5) to release said inflation medium from the inflatable portion (3); and further characterised in that the outlet pipe (5) is adapted to be held, during use of the device, in a closed condition by closure means operatively associated with said outlet pipe (5) and causes at least partial deflation of said inflatable portion (3). In a preferred embodiment, the device provides means for safely restricting the flow of blood through a blood-vessel and means for the rapid release of such restriction. Thus, the device may be used as a tourniquet or to heighten the sensations experienced during sexual acts. <IMAGE></p> |
