Revolutionizing Infection Control: The Innovative daisygrip Reusable Tourniquet

Tourniquets, classified as 'non-critical' medical devices, play a pivotal role across various medical settings, from Emergency Departments and Intensive Care Units to routine areas such as wards. However, their involvement in invasive procedures and the challenge of ensuring proper disinfection have raised concerns about infection control.

Traditionally, tourniquets are mobile, multi-use devices made from fabric, posing challenges in effective disinfection due to their material and design. Studies indicate that a significant majority of tourniquets exhibit contamination, with no standardized practices for disinfection. Reusable and single-use options present their own set of challenges, including higher costs and environmental impact.

Addressing these concerns, the daisygrip emerges as a groundbreaking solution—an innovative, reusable tourniquet that can be completely disinfected by the user. Crafted from a smooth silicone band, the daisygrip offers comfort for patients and is proven to pick up less contamination, making it easier to disinfect than conventional fabrics.

Key Features of the daisygrip:

1. Smooth Silicone Construction: The daisygrip's smooth silicone band ensures patient comfort while facilitating easy disinfection compared to conventional fabric tourniquets.

2. Self-Finding Magnetic Buckle: Featuring a unique magnetic buckle, the daisygrip enables faster and one-handed closure. This innovative design enhances ease of use during medical procedures.

3. Cost-Effective and Environmentally Friendly: Each daisygrip unit can be reused thousands of times, reducing the need for constant inventory replenishment and minimizing environmental impact.

4. Red Dot Award-Winning Design: Recognized for its excellence in design, the daisygrip's patented features emphasize frequency of use, ease of disinfection, and practicality in real-world healthcare settings.

In a notable real-life example from a secondary-level hospital, the daisygrip addresses concerns raised by conventional tourniquets. The silicone construction, coupled with the self-finding magnetic buckle, offers improved infection control practices. The daisygrip's ability to be completely disinfected by the user ensures a seamless and hygienic vascular access experience.

As the healthcare industry continues to prioritize patient safety and infection control, the daisygrip stands out as a transformative solution, setting a new standard for reusable tourniquets. Exclusively available through Tristel, the daisygrip represents a significant leap forward in advancing healthcare practices.
