Rubber tube tourniquet used in domestic hospitals in the past
Causes of Medical Tourniquet contamination: In the past, the hose-type tourniquets used in domestic hospitals had common phenomena such as cross-use, repeated use, random storage, non-sterilized or incomplete disinfection, or too long disinfection dark intervals, resulting in common problems such as serious contamination of tourniquets. The specific performance is: 1. The pathogenic bacteria picked up by Reusable Tourniquet far exceed the "Hospital Disinfection and Sanitation Standards" (GB15982-1995) 4.2.3 stipulated that "the total bacterial colony of medical supplies in contact with the skin should be ≤ 200cfu/g or 100 square centimeters: pathogenic microorganisms must not "Detection" requirements, and the detection of conditional pathogenic bacteria (this has been reported in a large number of domestic literature). 2. Failure to comply with Article 12 of Chapter III of the "Measures for the Administration of Hospital Infection" (Decree No. 48 of the Ministry of Health of the People's Republic of China) that "Medical instruments, appliances and articles that touch the skin and mucous membranes must reach the disinfection level; , Blood collection and other invasive medical devices must be used and sterilized according to the relevant regulations. 3. Studies have shown that the flat Disposable Tourniquet Tube can better reduce the pain of patients and improve the success rate of puncture than the round tourniquet. Affected by internationalization, the scope of application of domestic disposable tourniquets will gradually transition from military or field "emergency" hemostasis use to "routine" treatment infusion, blood draw, and hemostasis.

Bleeding is caused by a ruptured blood vessel
When the skin surface is cracked and blood flows out of the body, it is called external bleeding; when blood vessels rupture and the skin is intact, or internal bleeding is called internal bleeding. Experts say that when the amount of bleeding exceeds 40% of the body's blood volume, life will be threatened, and the injured will become unconscious and breathe shallow and fast, requiring emergency rescue. According to experts, the "pressurized bandage hemostasis method" should be used first when traumatic bleeding occurs. This method is suitable for wounds on the head, body, limbs and all parts of the body. The method of hemostasis is to cover the wound with a clean and sterile thicker gauze, and apply pressure directly on the dressing with your hands; at the same time, let the injured sit or lie down, raise the injured part, and try to support it; bandages, triangles, etc. can also be used. The bandage is tightly wrapped and compressed to help stop the bleeding. After dressing the extremities, the blood circulation in the fingers or toes must be checked, and the extremities should be observed for cyanosis or swelling. The second method is "finger pressure hemostasis", which is to press the upper part of the bleeding wound (the direction of blood flow) with fingers, so that the blood vessels are pressed against the nearby bones, thereby blocking the blood flow and achieving the purpose of hemostasis. Because it will affect the blood supply of the whole limb tissue, the use of this method should be limited, and the pressure should not exceed 10 minutes each time. If the extremities are bleeding heavily, it is best to use the "tourniquet hemostasis method". Experts say that this method is the most effective to stop bleeding, but it is easy to damage the limbs and affect the later repair. The specific method is: elevate the affected limb for 12 minutes before putting on the tourniquet. On the upper part of the bleeding site, such as the upper third of the upper arm or thigh, first wrap the skin with a towel or cotton pad, and then stretch and tighten the tourniquet Wrap it around towels and other things, neither too tight nor too loose, at most two times, until the bleeding stops. It is best to use elastic rubber tubes for the tourniquet, and it is strictly forbidden to use iron wires, wires, etc. to make the tourniquet. When loosening the tourniquet, attention should be paid to observing the bleeding. If there is not much bleeding, other methods can be used to stop the bleeding, so as not to compress the blood vessels for too long and cause limb necrosis. Branch bleeding must be sent to the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible after initial hemostasis. Ronghai specializes in producing latex, silicone and high polymer rubber materials.

Blood is the precious fluid of the human body
Blood is a precious fluid in the human body. If you lose too much blood, your life will be in danger. Therefore, it is necessary to learn how to stop bleeding. There are mainly the following methods to stop bleeding from trauma: 1. Capillary hemorrhage on the surface of the skin Capillary hemorrhage manifests as slow oozing, the amount of bleeding is small, it will stop automatically, there is no danger, just use a "Band-Aid". 2. Small veins bleed faster than capillaries. The method of hemostasis is to put clean thick gauze, towel, etc. on the wound, and then pressurize it to bandage. Usually, the bleeding will stop. 3. Common head injuries, because the capillaries of the scalp are very rich, the blood often flows all over the face, which looks terrible. In fact, as long as the wound is bandaged with pressure, the bleeding can be stopped quickly. 4. Small arteries bleed fast and the amount of bleeding is large. If this bleeding is not stopped in time, the human body will lose a large amount of blood in a short period of time, and shock will occur. At this time, pressure bandaging cannot stop the bleeding. Only by wrapping a tourniquet above the wound, or wrapping it with a towel or cloth strip instead of a tourniquet, can the bleeding be stopped.

Main products are Medical Tourniquet, medical Disposable Tourniquet, silicone protective cover for shape medical device and Medical Silicone pad, etc. For more information, please contact us: Tel:+86-750-6126773 Fax:+86-750-6126773 Mobile Phone:+8613822387375 Email:chloeyang@kimaomedical.com

How to use tourniquet
There will always be some bleeding in people's daily life. At this time, the usual method everyone takes is to use a tourniquet to stop the bleeding. Only in this way can the wounded be prevented from losing too much blood, but there are often many people who do not know the usage of the tourniquet, which brings greater harm to the patient, so everyone should understand the knowledge about the tourniquet so that It can be used to help when there is an emergency. So, how to use a tourniquet? When using a tourniquet, it should be tied above the bleeding wound of the extremities (to the extent that it can stop the bleeding), and the affected limb should be raised for several minutes in advance, and a towel or soft tissue should be placed locally to prevent tissue abrasion. After using a tourniquet, the blood supply to the tissue below the ligation site is interrupted, which can easily lead to tissue ischemia over time. Necrosis, so the time for tying the blood band should not be too long, and it should be relaxed every 30 minutes, about half a minute to one minute each time, to allow blood to circulate. For this reason, there should be a clear mark on the place where the tourniquet is applied, indicating the time when the tourniquet is applied, so as to facilitate the transfer, and the receiving unit can relax it accordingly and make necessary treatment. If there is no tourniquet, wide cloth strips, towels, bandages, etc. can also be used instead, but the tissue must be strictly prevented from being strangled. Bandaging is often used in trauma first aid. In addition to protecting the wound and preventing infection, dressing the wound also has the function of hemostasis; some dressings can also be used as a method to fix the affected limb. At present, bandages are commonly used for dressing small wounds, and triangular bandages are used for dressing large wounds. Bandage dressing method: Bandages are usually divided into two types: hard bandages and soft bandages. Hard bandages are made by sprinkling gypsum powder on the bandages made in the city and drying to form plaster bandages. Here, we mainly talk about soft bandages. Common soft bandages include the following: a. sticky paste (ie adhesive plaster). b. Reel bandage: Rolled with gauze, it is the most widely used and most convenient type of bandage. The general length is 5 meters, and the width is determined according to the needs. When in use, the rescuer faces the wounded, takes a suitable position, first covers the wound with sterile gauze, then holds the bandage head with the left hand, and the bandage roll with the right hand, and sticks the outside of the bandage to the local area, usually from left to right, from bottom to bottom wind up. The bandage should not be too tight, so as not to cause local swelling, and should not be too loose, so as not to slip off. Generally, the arms are bent and tied (elbows bent), and the legs are tied straight to maintain the functional position of the limbs. The above is a detailed introduction based on the question of how to use the tourniquet, if you don`t know it before. I hope everyone can understand it carefully, so that we can respond to emergencies in a timely manner. It will not be said that the patient's disease will be aggravated because he does not know how to use the tourniquet.

Uses and types of Disposable Tourniquet Tube
.Uses of disposable tourniquets. Disposable Tourniquet Tubes are mainly used in emergency situations where the limb is bleeding profusely. The reasonable use of tourniquets in limb surgery can help to temporarily block the blood supply to the limb, helping the limb to be in a bloodless environment during surgery, providing a good surgical view for the medical staff being operated on, and also reducing the amount of surgical bleeding. However, a tourniquet must be used properly, as improper use of a tourniquet can easily cause more harm than good to the limb. .Types of tourniquets. 1, Pneumatic Disposable Tourniquet Flat , clinical surgery use is more predominant, according to the change of limb position at any time deflation or replenishment of gas, so as to provide a more balanced tourniquet pressure, the product is relatively advanced;. 2, Rubber tube or rubber band tourniquet, more common is the blood test related departments, basically the blood draw window used are rubber tube tourniquet. 3, Cloth Disposable Tourniquet Hole Button, in the last resort, will choose to use cloth tourniquet instead of medical tourniquet, from the role, cloth tourniquet can also play a role in stopping bleeding, but in the premise of medical tourniquet, or recommended to use medical tourniquet;. 4, Card tourniquet, can be used to fasten the way to stop bleeding, is also a more common disposable tourniquet products, and is being promoted, the current clinical use of more and more.

How to Use a Tourniquet
Tourniquets are tight bands used to completely stop the blood flow to a wound. To control bleeding after an injury to a limb, tourniquets should ideally only be used by first responders trained in emergency first aid. Knowing when (and when not) to use a tourniquet to control bleeding can be difficult to ascertain. When to Use Even when used properly, complications from tourniquet can lead to severe tissue damage. However, in the case of severe bleeding and life-or-death emergencies, properly using a tourniquet is an effective way to stop bleeding and keep an injured person stable until they can receive proper medical attention.1 Emergency scenarios that could require a civilian to use a tourniquet include car accidents, gunshot wounds, deep cuts, or a crushed limb related to a work injury. Most people will never find themselves in a situation requiring the use of a commercial tourniquet. Still, if you ever find yourself in one of these situations, knowing how to properly use a tourniquet could potentially save someone's life.

Contaminated venous tourniquets: is there a better solution for infection control?
Tourniquets are classified as `non-critical` medical devices and are one of the most widely used pieces of medical equipment across a number of settings. This includes spaces such as Emergency Departments (ED) and Intensive Care Units (ICU), theatres, vascular access clinics, pathology, cancer care services, and other routine and everyday areas such as wards. However, the involvement of tourniquets in invasive procedures - such as blood collection, line insertion and other vascular access routines - as well as their ability to travel, means that a new or adequately cleaned/disinfected tourniquet is paramount for proper infection control procedures. Evidence - both anecdotal and published - suggests that this does not always occur. Tourniquets are ordinarily mobile, multi-use and made from fabric. As a result, these are difficult and slow to disinfect due to the nature of their material and design, often resulting in inadequate disinfection. A recent review of existing studies found that the majority of published research showed >70% of tourniquets exhibited contamination1. The study also found that there are no standard practices, that tourniquets are shared and reused (sometimes for years) and patient safety may be jeopardised depending on material type and organisms found. The introduction of disposable or single-use tourniquets can be more expensive and generate greater waste. Anecdotally, user satisfaction tends to be lower due to design and quality, as the item is manufactured for single use. Construction materials for both reusable and single-use tourniquets have been shown to both pick up and transfer microorganisms in a number of settings2. A third option of single patient tourniquets (where one tourniquet is assigned to a patient) reduces some of the risk, but is reliant on proper hand hygiene and handling, disinfection of surrounding surfaces, as well as disinfection or disposal of the device post-discharge, due to the risk of microbial dissemination. Crucially, a device could still be contaminated and used on a patient multiple times. In a real-life example, a New Zealand study completed in a secondary-level hospital found various levels of contamination of tourniquets, with the highest levels found on the phlebotomy trolley post-ward round3. The facility disinfects all tourniquets overnight. They suggested a move to cost-comparable disposable tourniquets, but these were not preferred by staff and were found to be less comfortable for patients. Issuing patient specific reusables was cost-prohibitive. How could this example be generalised to larger facilities; to those with known MDRO issues; to those with greater frequency of use of tourniquets? While there is ongoing research into the risk of bloodstream infections due to tourniquet contamination, the issue of tourniquet contamination itself is known and documented. Conventional tourniquets are routinely subjected to improper processing, if at all - a practice that does not occur with most other medical devices. So why should we settle for less? And what is the solution? Enter daisygrip - a reusable tourniquet that can be completely disinfected by the user. The daisygrip is manufactured from a smooth silicone band, which is comfortable for the patient, as well as being documented to pick up less contamination and being easier to disinfect than conventional fabrics4. With daisygrip, you can simply wipe, observe the required time, then use again. The band is coupled with an innovative and unique self-finding magnetic buckle, making closure faster, easier and able to be completed with one hand. Each unit can be reused thousands of times, saving on inventory and replacement. The daisygrip`s patented, Red Dot Award-winning design has a focus on frequency and ease of use, as well as the ability to be completely disinfected in realistic times and places. Improved infection control practices and hygienic vascular access, all via an easily disinfected, award-winning, reusable medical device.

Use of tourniquet to save officer`s life shows importance of training, official says
Police in Northwest Indiana have saved more than 100 people since a training program began five years ago designed to teach them how to use a tourniquet to save themselves or their fellow officers if they've been shot. Monday marked the first time in those five years that a tourniquet was used to save an officer's life, said Lori Postma, emergency preparedness educator for Franciscan Health in Hammond, Munster and Dyer. Gary officer Donald Briggs used Sgt. William Fazekas' belt as a tourniquet to slow Fazekas' bleeding after Fazekas was shot twice in the shoulder during a traffic stop about 1 p.m. Monday in the 600 block of Johnson Street. Postma said she didn't think Briggs was among the more than 2,000 police officers in Northwest Indiana trained as part of the Indiana District 1 Hospital Emergency Planning Committee's Save a Cop program. But Briggs' life-saving actions were an example of just how vital such training can be, she said. "We teach them this training is to save themselves or their partners," Postma said. "But knowing what to do, they have saved so many people." Law enforcement agencies in Lake, Porter, LaPorte, Newton and Jasper counties have recorded more than 100 lives saved because of the training, but some of the larger departments have told the District 1 hospital group they've stopped counting, she said. The training also has helped save lives in other emergencies, such as crashes and traumatic injuries. "They feel empowered to help others in a different capacity than they normally do as a police officer," Postma said. The training is fast-paced and puts officers through different scenarios. "We train them at entry level. It's not like they need to have any medical knowledge," she said. "Sometimes, they're learning to put these tourniquets on blindfolded or in the dark with strobe lights going. We try to put them in realistic situations to make it muscle memory."

Officer uses tourniquet to save shooting victim's life in Germantown
GERMANTOWN, Md. A Montgomery County police officer is being credited with saving a shooting victim's life in Germantown on Sunday night. After responding to a call on Neerwinder Street and Waters Landing Drive, officers learned from the victim's brother a man had been shot. Police say a trail of blood in the grass led them to the victim who was suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Investigators say the two suspects ran from the scene. Body camera video obtained first by FOX 5`s Tisha Lewis shows Montgomery County Police Officer Kyle Berry applying a tourniquet to the victim`s leg, along with extensive bandaging. The victim "was concerned," Officer Berry said and kept asking for the paramedics. "We assured him that they were on their way, and we were doing everything we could to treat his injuries prior to them getting there," he said. Once they arrived, he was taken to a nearby hospital and is currently in stable condition.

TOURNIQUET WITH LIDOCAINE BETTER ANESTHETIC FOR MINOR HAND SURGERY
For minor hand surgery, the combination of a tourniquet and buffered lidocaine solution works best, according to a new study. The study, [A randomized controlled trial of three different local anesthetic methods for minor hand surgery," was published on January 6, 2022, in the Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery. [Hemostasis and local anesthetic injection are essential for minor hand surgeries under local anesthesia. Wide awake local anesthesia no tourniquet became popular for achieving hemostasis without a tourniquet. However, a recent study reported that injection is more painful than tourniquet use in minor hand surgery," the study authors wrote. Because of this, they sought to compare three local anesthesia methods that differ according to injection and hemostasis: the combination of a tourniquet and buffered lidocaine solution, wide awake local anesthesia no tourniquet, and conventional local anesthesia. The study included 169 patients who underwent minor hand surgery between 2017 and 2020. They were randomly assigned to one of the three anesthesia methods. During the surgery, the researchers recorded all pain and anxiety scores as well as satisfaction after surgery. They report that pure lidocaine injection was more painful than buffered lidocaine and wide awake local anesthesia no tourniquet solution injection (p < 0.001). In addition, local anesthesia injection was more painful than tourniquet use in all groups (p < 0.001). The researchers also found that the intraoperative anxiety score was lower in the combination of a tourniquet and buffered lidocaine solution group than in the conventional local anesthesia and wide awake local anesthesia no tourniquet groups (p < 0.001). The satisfaction score was also higher in the combination of a tourniquet and buffered lidocaine solution and wide awake than local anesthesia no tourniquet and conventional local anesthesia. [Combination of a tourniquet and buffered lidocaine solution for minor hand surgery under local anesthesia is associated with less injection pain and patient anxiety. The tourniquet is tolerable without much pain and waiting time. Thus, combination of a tourniquet and buffered lidocaine solution is a good alternative to wide awake local anesthesia with no tourniquet and conventional local anesthesia," the researchers wrote. The study authors included Sang Ki Lee, Woo-suk Kim and Won Sik Choy of Eulji University College of Medicine, Daejeon, Korea.
