RediCare® Paediatric Tourniquet - Single Patient Use

RediCare Paediatric – The Comfortable Tourniquet for Kids

Designed with young patients in mind, the RediCare Single Use Paediatric Tourniquet is a simple, cost-effective alternative to disposable options, designed to be used throughout the duration of the patient’s stay.

Soft, skin-friendly material minimises discomfort while providing a secure, reliable fit for paediatric patients of various sizes.

The dual action click buckle offers both slow and quick release mechanisms for precise control, allowing for smooth, easy application in any setting.

With a built-in thumb grip for easy adjustment, this tourniquet provides clinicians with the flexibility they need to deliver gentle, efficient care to their youngest patients.

Why switch to single patient use tourniquets?

Reusable tourniquets can pose a risk of cross-contamination, making single-patient use options a hygienic choice for both patients and healthcare providers.

A study published in the Medical Journal of Australia examined 100 reusable tourniquets after use on patients’ arms and found that:

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