Abstract EN

We have retrospectively reviewed our use of the S-MART sterile silicon ring self-exsanguinating tourniquet in 300 consecutive minor hand surgical procedures.

A total of 3 postoperative complications were identified, only 1 of which was directly related to the tourniquet’s use.

We outline the reasons of why we feel that this device provides a safe and effective bloodless field and the benefits of its use.
