TOURNIQUET – SINGLE PATIENT USE

For improved infection control
Haines® Tourniquet Single Patient Use 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?

A recent 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, including the superbug MRSA, were found in one quarter of the tourniquets.”
