Upper limb type usage

Description: 

Blood left behind results in clots and intravascular clotting and often occurs during surgery where a tourniquet is used. When the tourniquet is deflated, blood clots migrate to the heart and lungs, leading to risk of brain infarcts, e.g. post TKA Cognitive Dysfunction. Near perfect exsanguination by our this kind of tourniquet largely prevents embolization.

The product is sterilized by ethylene oxide, and the residual amount of ethylene oxide should not exceed 10 µg/g.

The Specification:

About the Strength:

The elastic ring of the upper limb type should be stretched to 200mm without breaking.
The elastic ring of the lower limb type should be stretched to 200mm without breaking.

Application Field
Limb surgeries that require exsanguination and occlusion.

Precautions and suggestive instructions
Potential hazards and restrictions on use
This product is a single-use device. After the expiration date, it cannot be used normally, and after use, it should be disposed of in accordance with the country's existing medical waste safety management regulations.
This product is sterilized by ethylene oxide. If the inner packaging is damaged, please do not use it.
If the product cannot block the blood flow of the patient's limbs, it should be removed immediately.
The hemostasis time of this product should not exceed 90 minutes.

Do not place the elastic ring of this product on the elbow (where it is likely to cause damage to the ulnar nerve) or the knee (where it is likely to cause damage to the common peroneal nerve). Confirm that the circumference of the mid-upper part of the patient's upper arm is between 14-40cm and the middle thigh between 28-85cm. If the measured circumference exceeds the above range, please use other methods to conduct hemostasis. If the systolic blood pressure is higher than 180mmHg, please take other methods to conduct hemostasis.

Before using this product, the operator should read this manual carefully, be familiar with the performance and the use of the device.

It is recommended to use the device when the patient is under anesthesia. If not, the patient will feel uncomfortable. Explain to the patient before use.

 Technical Principles

The diameter of the elastic ring is smaller than the minimum size of the limb (even the extremity). When the limb is inserted into the ring, the ring will be expanded, therefore exerts a counter-effect on the limb, squeezing the blood out of vessels. In order to generate enough force to resist the blood pressure, in the meantime not to generate excessive force to damage the tissues, the material of the ring must be selected reasonably.
