The need for Single Patient Use Torniquets
Evidence suggests a high proportion of reusable tourniquets are contaminated with blood and bacterial pathogens and these are used in the most common invasive procedures in a hospital; venous-blood sampling and intravenous cannulation.
“There remains a potential risk of viral transmission from tourniquets to patients across areas of broken skin such as venous access and monitoring sites, open wounds, eczema, cuts and abrasions.”
“Since it is impossible to disinfect reusable tourniquets, we recommend the use of disposable tourniquets.”
