Brassard de Garrot Pneumatique

Détails du Produit

Vue d'Ensemble

Le brassard de garrot pneumatique est un brassard de compression gonflable conçu pour une utilisation avec les systèmes de garrot pneumatique lors des procédures chirurgicales et orthopédiques. Lorsqu'il est gonflé à une pression précise supérieure à la pression artérielle systolique du patient, il occlut temporairement le flux sanguin artériel du membre distal, créant un champ chirurgical exsangue. Le brassard est doté d'une vessie durable, d'une fermeture crochets-boucles et d'un port pneumatique pour la connexion à l'instrument de garrot.

Applications Courantes

• Orthopedic surgery — Knee arthroscopy, foot and ankle procedures, hand and wrist surgery, and fracture fixation.
• General limb surgery — Soft tissue procedures, tumor excision, and vascular access surgery on extremities.
• Intravenous regional anesthesia (IVRA / Bier block) — Used in conjunction with dual-cuff systems for localized anesthesia.
• Trauma and emergency surgery — Controlled hemorrhage management in operative settings.
• Podiatric procedures — Toe and forefoot surgeries requiring a bloodless field.

Mode d'Emploi

1. Select the appropriate cuff size based on the patient's limb circumference — the cuff width should be approximately 20% greater than the limb diameter.
2. Apply soft padding (e.g., Webril or cotton cast padding) around the limb to protect the skin and nerves.
3. Place the cuff over the padding, proximal to the surgical site, ensuring it lies flat without wrinkles. Secure with the hook-and-loop closure.
4. Connect the pneumatic tubing to the tourniquet console and perform a leak test.
5. Elevate and exsanguinate the limb (using an Esmarch bandage or elevation method) before inflation.
6. Inflate the cuff to the calculated pressure (typically systolic BP + 50–75 mmHg for upper limb, + 100 mmHg for lower limb). Record the inflation time.
7. Monitor cuff pressure and ischemia time throughout the procedure. Alert the surgical team at 60, 90, and 120 minutes.
8. Upon completion, deflate the cuff gradually and remove. Assess limb perfusion, sensation, and motor function.

Avantages Clés

• Precise pressure control — Compatible with electronic tourniquet systems for accurate, consistent inflation.
• Multiple sizes available — Pediatric to adult thigh sizes accommodate all patient populations.
• Durable construction — Reinforced bladder and heavy-duty fabric withstand repeated sterilization and use.
• Secure fit — Wide hook-and-loop closure prevents slipping during inflation and patient movement.
• Radiolucent — Does not interfere with intraoperative imaging (fluoroscopy, C-arm).

Note de sécurité : Pneumatic tourniquets should only be used by trained medical professionals. Prolonged tourniquet time (>2 hours) increases the risk of nerve injury, muscle damage, and post-tourniquet syndrome. Toujours suivre les protocoles de l'équipe chirurgicale pour les limites de pression et la surveillance de l'ischémie.
