The transmission of viral infections to patients across areas of broken skin, such as venous access or monitoring sites, open wounds, eczema, cuts and abrasions is a major problem for healthcare professionals. In order to reduce the opportunity for such infections InterVene has produced a range of innovative, low cost, disposable tourniquets.
For a tourniquet to be a true ‘single-use’ device, it should be automatically destroyed during the course of its regular operation. InterVene has produced two such devices, IVDT and IVSUT50. By ultrasonically welding the strap on the tourniquet our design team has created a tourniquet that destroys itself as it is released, ensuring that it cannot be reused. From just 26p these single-use devices are priced to attract integration.
TQ Plus from InterVene is a cost-effective solution for Infection Control Practitioners. Whether for Single-Patient Use or disposed of daily or at clinic or shift handover, TQPlus offers the flexibility to work in any infection control protocol.
