Tourniquet

A surgical tourniquet uses an inflatable cuff around a limb to stop arterial blood flow, giving a bloodless field during limb surgery. It is used in orthopaedic, trauma, hand and plastic surgery and for intravenous regional anaesthesia.

Common types

  • Electronic pneumatic tourniquet: an electric pump holds a set pressure and records inflation time.
  • Dual-channel tourniquet: controls two cuffs, used for intravenous regional anaesthesia or bilateral surgery.
  • Manual pneumatic tourniquet: a hand pump and gauge, used where power is limited.
  • Cuffs: reusable or single-use, in sizes for arm, thigh and paediatric limbs.

Documents to ask for

Buyers typically ask for CE marking under the EU MDR or the destination country's registration, ISO 13485 for the maker, and IEC 60601-1 test reports for electronic units.

Certificates and registrations belong to the product and its manufacturer. We check them with you against the rules of your market before any order.

Can we use our existing cuffs with a new tourniquet unit?

Only if the tubing connectors match. Many systems use maker-specific connectors, so send a photo or description of your current cuff connector with the request.
