Adult Single Patient Use Tourniquet

SINGLE PATIENT USE TOURNIQUET

For improved infection control

This Single Patient Use Tourniquet offers a simple, cost effective and better alternative to:

• disposable tourniquets as they offer a firm grip and one can be used for the duration of the patients stay unlike many disposable tourniquets

• reusable tourniquets offering reduced risk of cross infection for your patients (see below study)

WHY SWITCH TO SINGLE PATIENT USE TOURNIQUETS?

An Australian study examined 100 reusable tourniquets after use on patients’ arms and found that:

“61 per cent of them were colonised with bacterial species not normally found in the upper arm area. Multi-resistant organisms (MRO), including the superbug methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), were found in one quarter of the tourniquets.”
