Dukal NLT4200 - Non-Latex Tourniquet Package, 1" x 18", 500/CS
The Dukal NLT4100 Non-Latex Tourniquet is a disposable, single-use tourniquet designed to provide reliable and comfortable constriction during venipuncture and blood collection procedures. Measuring 1 inch by 18 inches, it offers a smooth stretch and gentle tension control, making it suitable for both adult and pediatric patients. The blue color provides clear visibility in clinical settings, aiding efficient workflow.
Key Benefits
The non-latex material reduces the risk of allergic reactions, making this product a safe choice for patients and clinicians with latex sensitivities. Its disposable design supports infection control practices by eliminating the need for cleaning or reprocessing between uses. The band delivers consistent tension to assist in proper vein dilation, contributing to smoother and more efficient blood draw procedures.
Compatibility and Applications
This tourniquet is commonly used in hospitals, clinics, laboratories, doctor's offices, and mobile phlebotomy environments. It is compatible with standard venipuncture, IV insertion, and specimen collection procedures. The flexible material adapts easily to various arm sizes while maintaining patient comfort.
Usage Guidelines
Wrap the tourniquet around the upper arm approximately 7 to 10 centimeters above the venipuncture site. Adjust tension to achieve vein prominence without causing discomfort or restricting circulation excessively. Remove the tourniquet as soon as venous access is established. Discard immediately after use according to facility infection control protocols.
Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals
The product is manufactured under medical device quality standards and is free from natural rubber latex. It is designed for single use and should be stored and handled according to labeling instructions. Regulatory compliance and applicable safety designations can be verified on product packaging and accompanying documentation.
Comparison with Competitor Products
Unlike latex-based tourniquets that pose allergy concerns, the Dukal NLT4100 provides a safer non-latex alternative without compromising elasticity or performance. Its consistent tensile strength and stable grip help reduce slippage compared to lower-grade elastic bands. The disposable format also supports improved hygiene compared to reusable cloth or rubber tourniquets.
