The Dukal LXS3206 Latex Tourniquet is a natural rubber tourniquet designed for routine blood draw and venipuncture procedures. Measuring 1 inch in width and 18 inches in length, it provides the right balance of elasticity and tension to assist in vein engorgement for easier needle access. Packaged 250 per box and 4 boxes per case, it supports high-volume clinical environments where reliable and consistent performance is required.
Key Benefits
The tourniquet stretches smoothly and maintains steady pressure, helping healthcare professionals locate veins efficiently while minimizing patient discomfort. The natural latex material offers dependable elasticity and easy handling. Single-use application supports infection control and reduces the risk of cross-contamination between patients.
Compatibility and Applications
Suitable for hospitals, physician offices, laboratories, mobile phlebotomy teams, urgent care centers, and blood donation facilities. Compatible with standard venipuncture kits, blood draw supplies, and IV access procedures. Commonly used during routine lab draws, infusion therapy setup, and other venous access tasks.
Usage Guidelines
Stretch and apply the tourniquet approximately 7 to 10 cm above the intended venipuncture site. Adjust tension to achieve vein prominence without causing excessive pressure. Remove promptly once blood flow is established or after procedure completion. Dispose of after single use. Do not reuse.
Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals
This product is designed and manufactured in accordance with medical supply quality and safety standards for single-use patient contact items. Packaging includes sterilization and regulatory compliance details appropriate to the intended clinical use. Users should refer to facility guidelines regarding latex use and patient allergy screening.
Comparison with Competitor Products
Compared to synthetic alternatives, the natural latex formulation offers stronger elasticity and more controlled tension during application. Many non-latex versions may require more effort to achieve the same level of vein stabilization. The Dukal LXS3206 delivers consistent tactile feedback and stretch performance, making it a preferred choice for experienced healthcare staff who rely on reliable handling.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
Common users include phlebotomists, nurses, medical assistants, and laboratory technicians performing routine venous access. Application scenarios include inpatient hospital units, outpatient laboratory testing centers, emergency departments, and community health screening programs.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Store tourniquets in a cool, dry location to maintain elasticity and prevent material degradation. Always check for latex sensitivity before use. Discard after one patient use to support infection prevention. Avoid overstretching to maintain proper tension and prevent breakage.
Regulatory and Safety Information
For single use only. Not intended for reuse, reprocessing, or sterilization. Ensure that staff are aware of latex content to prevent exposure in patients with latex allergies. Follow applicable institutional and regional regulations for disposal of medical waste.
