Tips of the trade #42. An improved technique for creating a digital tourniquet.

A Shah1, R Asivatham, R D Ellis.   

Abstract

A bloodless operating field for digital surgery is usually achieved by using either a pneumatic tourniquet or a soft-rubber catheter tied around the base of the digit. We present an improved technique for creating a digital tourniquet using a surgical glove. It is more effective and simple to use.
