Dukal LXS118FP - Latex Tourniquet, 1" x 18", Natural, 100/BX, 10 BX/CS
The Dukal LXS118FP Latex Tourniquet is designed for reliable and efficient venous constriction during blood draws, IV starts, and similar clinical procedures. Measuring 1 inch by 18 inches, this natural latex tourniquet provides consistent stretch and gentle tension, helping clinicians locate veins quickly while maintaining patient comfort. Each box includes 100 tourniquets, and there are 10 boxes per case for convenient bulk stocking in hospitals, labs, and medical facilities.
Key Benefits
The latex construction allows controlled elasticity that supports secure vein engorgement without excessive pressure. This helps reduce discomfort and improves the accuracy of venipuncture. The single use format promotes hygienic practice by reducing cross contamination risks. Its soft, flexible texture allows easy application and removal, supporting fast workflow during routine phlebotomy and IV access procedures.
Compatibility and Applications
This tourniquet is compatible with standard venipuncture techniques and phlebotomy tools. It is commonly used in hospitals, outpatient labs, physician offices, urgent care clinics, and diagnostic centers. Typical applications include blood collection, IV catheter placement, donor blood draws, and point-of-care testing procedures.
Usage Guidelines
Position the tourniquet around the upper limb above the venipuncture site and tie or stretch to the desired tension. Avoid overtightening to prevent patient discomfort or restricted arterial flow. Remove the tourniquet promptly after successful vein access. Dispose of after single use in accordance with facility protocols. Do not reuse.
Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals
The Dukal LXS118FP tourniquet is manufactured under quality-controlled processes that meet established medical device safety requirements. It is supplied for single use and intended for professional clinical environments. Check product packaging for region-specific regulatory information.
Comparison with Competitor Products
Compared to reusable fabric tourniquets, this latex tourniquet helps reduce contamination risk and eliminates the need for cleaning between patients. Its controlled elasticity offers a more consistent and predictable tension than many non-elastic or synthetic alternatives. The bulk packaging format is cost-effective for high-volume settings and supports efficient inventory management.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
Common users include phlebotomists, nurses, laboratory technicians, emergency medical staff, and other clinicians performing venous access procedures. It is well-suited for routine hospital rounds, outpatient lab draw stations, mobile phlebotomy services, and donation centers.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Store tourniquets in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight to maintain elasticity and quality. Always use sterile technique and avoid applying excessive pressure to prevent skin irritation. Discard after each patient use. Do not attempt to wash or reuse.
Regulatory and Safety Information
