Product Release: Single Patient Use Tourniquet

Haines® Medical Australia have launched another product in the fight to help health professionals combat hospital acquired infections. The NEW Single Patient Use Tourniquet sells for as little as 99 cents and is a great addition to infection control protocols.

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 (MRO), including the superbug methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), were found in one quarter of the tourniquets.” Source: Med J Aust 2011; 195 (5): 276-279.

Haines Product Development Manager Corey White suggests: “Single Patient Use Tourniquet are a cost effective and better alternative to reusable tourniquets offering reduced risk of cross infection for your patients and disposable tourniquets as they offer a firm grip and one can be used for the duration of the patients stay unlike many disposable tourniquets”.
