The Benefits Of Using A Disposable Tourniquet

Tourniquets are used in a wide variety of medical applications. For a medical facility, single-use, latex-free tourniquets are commonly used for phlebotomy and intravenous infusions.

As we know, in hospitals and doctors’ offices blood samples are regularly taken from a patient’s arm to for further testing reasons. Medical personnel will wrap a tourniquet around the patient’s upper arm to make it easier to draw blood by inserting a needle or syringe into the patient’s vein.

A constant problem is that medical facilities are reusing tourniquets on multiple patients, which is leading to the spread of infection. The solution to this problem is using disposable, single-use tourniquets to reduce the risk of patient infection or contamination.
