Key Benefits
The non-latex composition supports sensitive skin and reduces the possibility of allergic responses, making it safer for both patients and healthcare professionals.

The 1 x 18-inch size provides sufficient length for various limb sizes, ensuring adaptability in multiple care environments.
Compatibility and Applications

It is ideal for venipuncture, IV starts, blood draws, and other routine procedures requiring temporary vascular constriction. Its universal design ensures broad usability across patient age groups and care scenarios.
Usage Guidelines
Wrap the tourniquet around the patients arm approximately 3 to 4 inches above the intended venipuncture site. Apply enough tension to temporarily restrict venous return without impeding arterial flow. Release and dispose of the tourniquet immediately after venipuncture or cannulation. Do not reuse or sterilize.
