Introducing VACUETTE® EasyClean Tourniquet
The VACUETTE® EasyClean Tourniquet brings the familiar, easy application of a classic buckle tourniquet, including one-handed release and adjustment, with added hygienic safety due to the easy wipe disinfection.
To prevent cross-contamination and reduce potential for hospital-acquired infections and related costs, single-use tourniquets have become a standard choice, but increasing awareness of the need to prevent plastic waste to protect our environment(1), has led to the development of this advanced super-smooth silicone material and development of the new VACUETTE® EasyClean Tourniquet.
The VACUETTE® EasyClean Tourniquet is tested for a minimum of 11,200 applications.
- an easily adjustable tourniquet to provide optimal stasis for venepuncture
- made from silicone material meaning that it can be easily disinfected between uses by simply wiping with a disinfectant wipe(2)
- the specially processed smooth surface of the material enables safe cleaning to prevent cross-contamination between patients, and furthermore prevents dust and dirt from sticking
- the comfortable silicone is gentle on the skin, achieving good grip without pinching
- the secure buckle prevents unintentional opening without causing any friction on the skin for the patient
- can also be used in CT or MRI setting
- can be autoclaved up to 134°C if required
