Tourniquets

Safe application in just two clicks

Tourniquets are used to produce a relatively bloodless surgical field during surgical procedures on the arms and legs. Another area of application for tourniquets is intravenous regional anaesthesia (IVRA). All tourniquets feature easy handling in the OR environment and a comprehensive safety concept for patients and users. Matching cuffs for single or multiple use as well as further accessories complete the product line.
