Tourniquet systems act as the first line of defense against injuries sustained during accidents. It can stem blood flow and can prevent infections by closing the wound quickly.
How Tourniquet Systems Work?
Tourniquet systems encompass tourniquet cuffs and instruments. They act as a compressing device to stem blood loss during accidents, surgeries, and battle wounds. Emergency and surgical are the two major types of tourniquet systems. The former are used by soldiers to stanch blood loss incurred during wars. The latter are used by surgeons to speed up surgeries with precision and safety. Pneumatic tourniquets consist of an inflatable cuff, instrument to monitor cuff pressure, and a gas source. The rise in accidents is spurring their demand.
