These contact bacteria are especially feared, due to multi resistance.<br />

Standard cross-contamination preventive measures of hygienic hand disinfection between<br />

patients, and wearing gloves can be significantly aided by applying single-use disposable<br />

tourniquets.<br />

A single-use policy in your hospital or institution provides best possible protection for<br />

both patients and nursing personnel.<br />

In order to provide this protection for patients and personnel, Greiner Bio-One has<br />

expanded the range of safety products with the addition of the new, VACUETTE®<br />

<strong>Disposable</strong> <strong>Tourniquet</strong>. The tourniquets have a special coating on the inner side which<br />

guarantee a firm fit, preventing slipping when pulling tight.<br />

The tourniquets are furthermore LATEX-FREE.<br />

Recent studies have brought to light the dangers of crosscontamination.<br />

If standard tourniquets are re-used, there<br />

is a risk of infection.<br />

Particular problems:<br />

- Staphylococcus aureus<br />

- Enterococcus faecium<br />

- Pseudomonas aeruginosa<br />

Workers in the healthcare industry are at risk of developing latex-allergy due to regular<br />

contact. Use of the VACUETTE® <strong>Disposable</strong> <strong>Tourniquet</strong> can prevent developing this<br />

allergy, and help reduce the suffering of those with a latex-allergy.<br />
