Easier, efficient tourniquet application
Patient privacy and comfort

Stockinette is commonly used as padding beneath a pneumatic tourniquet during extremity surgery.  However, it frequently shifts and moves during tourniquet application. Tournisec ᵀᴹ is a single piece of stockinette made into a pair of shorts, resembling form fitting cycling shorts. Tournisec ᵀᴹ replaces the standard “too small” piece of stockinette or cotton cast padding typically used with an efficient design that also provides patient privacy.

The patient dons the Tournisec ᵀᴹ shorts in the pre-op holding area when they don their gown, eliminating the step of applying padding in the OR. The tourniquet application is unchanged, just easier and faster with the tourniquet being applied over the now stable padding of this shorts configuration. With plenty of material distal to the tourniquet, simply fold the distal end of the shorts back over the tourniquet, securing the tourniquet in place. Thus the name, Tournisec ᵀᴹ – Tourniquet Securing Shorts!

This design makes tourniquet application a one-person job, freeing up OR staff for other tasks that expedite the procedure, saving valuable OR time.

Patients also love the privacy and dignity the device offers, something we would all appreciate if we are someday the patient! Patient privacy issues are also a major JCAHO point of interest.

Tournisec ᵀᴹ just makes it easier for everyone!
