As seen on the popular German TV show «Höhle der Löwen» (Shark Tank equivalent): The daisygrip tourniquet! The strap of the daisygrip tourniquet is made of silicon, making it particularly skin friendly. Pinching of the skin and loss of circulation to the arm is effectively prevented.

Outcome

To obtain clinical routine data without any guidelines, one ward (I) and three outpatient clinics (II, III and IV) participated in the study for five (I, III and IV) or nine (II) random days. They used a new CT and ST each day in parallel. In a few cases, they used only one tourniquet per day. In a questionnaire, the staff documented number of patients, number of personnel worked with the tourniquets, number of disinfection events, disinfection method and unexpected events or peculiarities.

The revolution for routine blood collection and intravenous access - the daisygrip one-handed tourniquet enables the highest hygienic standards and combines them with intuitive handling and innovative design. Product details Under controlled conditions, with strictly specified reprocessing, slightly fewer bacteria were found on silicone than on conventional tourniquets. In routine clinical practice the reprocessing frequency was not higher for silicone tourniquets in practice. Yet, in all four facilities, there were significantly fewer bacteria found on silicone than on conventional tourniquets. ConclusionThe Daisygrip venous tourniquet is designed with healthcare professionals in mind, and ideal for various clinical settings including GP surgeries, hospitals, occupational therapy, and phlebotomy clinics. Daisygrip streamlines the blood sampling process, making it more time-efficient and maintaining the highest hygiene standards without disrupting your current treatment procedures. A reduction in plastic waste of three-quarters of a metric tonne 2 (attributable to the reduction of single use tourniquets) which equates to 2.3 tonnes CO 2e.

Brand Loyalty– Departments had been using the same brand of single use tourniquets for several years; ensuring the benefits were communicated, was a critical success factor in getting the trials initiated. A substantial reduction in the number of single use tourniquets used 1 e.g., in a 6-month period of the trial, in one department, Phlebotomy services alone have used 6,375 fewer single use tourniquets, producing 127kg less plastic waste The trust was faced with several challenges prior and during the trials of the reusable tourniquet: For consumers, the right of withdrawal does not apply to contracts for the delivery of sealed goods that are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after delivery.The daisygrip ONE tourniquet is a sustainable solution in the field of venipuncture. Itcombines the positive properties of disposable and reusable products, as it can be used several times on the same patient without the risk of cross-contamination. A new one is used each time the patient is changed, minimizing the risk of infection from insufficiently disinfected reusable tourniquets. The simple closure makes it easy to put on, while the soft band ensures comfort and a good fit against the skin. Product details Skin-friendly Design: Daisygrip is gentle on the skin, preventing discomfort, pinching, or strangulation. One outpatient clinic used alternately a conventional (CT) or silicone tourniquet (ST) for 1 day (five times). To receive an impression of bacterial contamination under controlled conditions guidelines were given for cleaning tourniquets with disinfectant wipes - either never (1) or each time (2) after blood sampling. Second trial Although tourniquets are classified as non-critical medical devices, results show – together with benefits of faster and easier reprocessing – that silicone tourniquets can improve infection control of venous vascular access.
