Has anyone started to use the Terumo disposable tourniquet?
It looks the same as the re-usable one but does not have a release
button.
The elastic band is glued with a simple glue, so when you have finished,
you release the tourniquet by pulling the band.
It is another option that does not have a significant change of
technique.

Hi all
We are currently looking into replacing reusable tourniquets with
single-use disposable tourniquets throughout the hospital.
Just wondering if anyone has implemented a similar strategy in their
facility and what were the pro’s and con’s you encountered?
Regards
Maureen
