Dukal NLT4371 - Non-Latex Tourniquet, 1" x 18", White, 250/BG, 10 BG/CS
The Dukal NLT4371 Non-Latex Tourniquet is a flexible, single-use band designed to provide consistent and controlled constriction during venipuncture and blood draw procedures. Measuring 1 x 18 inches, it stretches easily for comfortable application and secure placement. The non-latex construction helps reduce the risk of allergic reactions, making it suitable for a wide range of patients in clinical settings.
Key Benefits
The non-latex material minimizes potential irritation and sensitivity concerns that may occur with traditional latex tourniquets. The single-use format supports infection prevention protocols by reducing cross-contamination risks. Its elastic tension provides reliable vessel engorgement to facilitate easier vein access while maintaining patient comfort throughout the procedure.
Compatibility and Applications
This tourniquet is compatible with standard phlebotomy, blood draw, IV placement, and laboratory procedures. It is commonly used in hospitals, outpatient clinics, physician offices, emergency departments, blood collection centers, and mobile healthcare environments. The white color provides a clean, professional appearance suitable for clinical use.
Usage Guidelines
Wrap the tourniquet around the patients limb approximately 7 to 10 cm above the intended venipuncture site. Pull to achieve gentle and effective constriction, then secure by tucking one end under the other. Remove the tourniquet promptly after vein access is achieved. Dispose of after a single use according to facility waste procedures.

Comparison with Competitor Products

It is especially valuable in facilities serving patients with latex sensitivities or where strict infection control measures require frequent disposal of tourniquets.
