Potential risk of cross-infection during peripheral-venous access by contamination of tourniquets.

M Golder, C L Chan, S O'Shea, K Corbett, I L Chrystie, G French.   

Abstract

We found that a high proportion of reusable tourniquets are contaminated with blood and bacterial pathogens. Their use contravenes hospital cross-infection control protocols and we therefore recommend the use of disposable tourniquets.
