BLD sterile exsanguination tourniquet is an effecient hemostatic device which can complete both exorcism and hemostasis at the same time. And it is safer, easier and faster than the traditional pneumatic tourniquet.

This tourniquet has the following advantages :bloodless, dry surgical field,improved anatomical visibility,reduced incidence of post-op DVT and reduced incidence of pulmonary embolism.

Only three steps we can complete the operation of exorcism and hemostasis(10 seconds). This easy and fast operation provides more prime time for surgery.
The elastic ring is made of medical-grade silicone rubber. According to the different size range of the patient's occlusion site, we set the corresponding specifications, and calibrated each specification accurately to ensure that the product will not produce overpressure on the limb, and the pressure is onsistent and controllable.
The elastic sleeve is made of cotton, which is soft and will not be harm to the limbs. It is covered on the limbs while exorcising blood and bleeding hemostasis to form a aseptic area.
This product is a disposable sterile product, which is sterilized by ethylene oxide to avoid contamination to the operationduring the use of the product.

The advantages:

Applicable surgery

Fracture surgery, knee replacement surgery, trauma surgery, arthroscopic surgery,pediatric orthopedic surgery, hand and upper limb surgery, foot and ankle surgery, neurosurgery, vascular surgery, etc .
