Latest study shows that "Use of the HemaClear™ elastic reduces blood loss in operative treatment of humeral shaft fractures"
"Estimated blood loss was 42% lower in the elastic group when compared to the standard pneumatic tourniquet group. The use of the elastic tourniquet was also associated with a 67% increase in tourniquet time compared to the standard pneumatic tourniquet.

Open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) of the humeral shaft has been associated with clinically significant bleeding caused by the vascular nature and large exposures [1,2]. Tourniquets are one approach to reduce blood loss; however, tourniquets can increase the difficulty of the surgical procedure...

Post-TKA Infection – Non-Sterile Tourniquets Are Contaminated

Some hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers still re-use non-sterile pneumatic tourniquets for . This happens despite the fact that there are multiple scientific papers showing non-sterile tourniquets are contaminated by many pathogenic bacteria. These hospitals perhaps believe it’s safe to re-use non-sterile with a sterile drape, prevents bacteria from reaching the surgical area. Unfortunately, this supposition is totally unsupported by science. In fact, bacteria can pe*****te through the broken skin beneath the tourniquet. It’s enough that just a few bacteria reach the metallic implant inserted during TKA for these bugs to multiply and cause surgical site infection.

This approach is also very short-sighted economically. Assume that contaminated tourniquets cause infection in only 1 in a 1000 TKA cases. The cost of treating SSI ($70.000 – $100,000) is far higher than using sterile, single-use tourniquets (pneumatic or HemaClear®. It is prudent for patients to insist on the use of a sterile single-patient tourniquet for their TKA.

Do surgeons express a specific need for a /blood-free surgical field?
Yes.
Blood-free surgery provides a clear surgical field, minimizes blood loss, gives the more control during the procedure, and shortens total OR time.
HemaClear provides a bloodless surgical field, excellent visibility and reduces risk of and pulmonary embolism.
HemaClear is the first advancement in bloodless limb surgery technology since Henry Cushing introduced the Pneumatic Tourniquet in 1904.

Tourniquet pain is an adverse effect that slows recovery after KNEE SURGERY in 40% of patients. It can be avoided. Most of pain is caused by the wide size of pneumatic tourniquets cuffs, that compress muscle and causes pain. Additionally, PT can cause blisters on the skin and have a greater chance of damaging nerves.
The unique design of HemaClear significantly reduces those
side effects, as many scientific medical studies show. The narrow profile of HemaClear and its placement high on the groin or axilla avoid the compression of muscles and nerves, resulting in no pain and no nerve damage in post operative period.
