RediCare® Fabric Tourniquet - Single Patient Use

The Fabric Tourniquet Designed for the Duration of a Patient’s Stay

RediCare® Fabric Tourniquet Single-Patient Use offers a simple, cost-effective alternative to traditional disposable and reusable tourniquets.

Unlike many disposable options that require frequent replacement, the RediCare Fabric Tourniquet Single-Patient Use provides a firm, secure grip and can be used throughout the patient’s stay, helping to reduce waste, streamline workflows and limit disruptions to patient care.

In addition, it helps reduce the risk of cross-contamination compared to reusable tourniquets, which can harbor bacteria and multi-resistant organisms after use.

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 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.”

The study emphasises the importance of infection prevention, and the single patient use RediCare Fabric Tourniquet was designed to help address these challenges.
