Tourniquets

[Lori McLeod-Mills]

Dear ACIPC Colleagues,

I am doing some work on tourniquets used in our business and I would like
to understand more about the types of tourniquets currently being used in
various settings for IV cannulation.
What are people using:
– Multiuse elastic tourniquets with a standard operating procedure for
cleaning
– Single use, clip
– Single use, tie-up

What is the most appropriate style of tourniquet to use from an IPC
perspective.

Thank you in advance for your feedback and guidance on this topic.

Kind regards
