Why switch to Disposable Tourniquets?
A recent study examined 100 reusable tourniquets after use on patients’ arms and found that:
“61% 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.”
