RediCare Paediatric Tourniquet - Single Patient Use
RediCare Paediatric Tourniquet - Single Patient Use
Product Overview
The Haines RediCare Paediatric Tourniquet is a single patient use solution designed to reduce cross-contamination risks associated with reusable tourniquets. A published study in the Medical Journal of Australia found that 61% of reusable tourniquets were colonised with bacterial species not normally found on the upper arm, with multi-resistant organisms including MRSA identified in one quarter of those tested.
Measuring 35cm long by 1.5cm wide, this paediatric tourniquet is soft, comfortable, and easy to apply across all limb shapes and sizes. It features a simple click buckle with both slow and quick release mechanisms, along with a thumb grip for straightforward strap adjustment, making it a practical and cost-effective choice for healthcare facilities treating paediatric patients.
Features & Benefits
Single Patient Use Design — Can be used multiple times throughout a single patient's stay or disposed of after use, helping reduce the risk of cross-contamination between patients.
Soft and Comfortable Material — Constructed from soft, gentle materials that are well-tolerated by paediatric patients, minimising discomfort during venepuncture or IV procedures.
Universal Paediatric Fit — Designed to fit all paediatric limb shapes and sizes, ensuring reliable occlusion regardless of the patient's build or age.
Click Buckle with Dual Release — Features a simple click buckle mechanism with both slow and quick release options, allowing clinicians to control pressure release according to clinical need.
Thumb Grip Adjustment — An integrated thumb grip allows for easy and precise strap tightening, enabling one-handed adjustment without the need for additional tools.
Compact Dimensions — At 35cm long and 1.5cm wide, this tourniquet is appropriately sized for paediatric use, providing a secure fit without excessive bulk.
Infection Control Compliance — Supports infection prevention protocols by eliminating shared-use tourniquets, addressing the documented risk of bacterial colonisation identified in peer-reviewed research.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the RediCare Paediatric Tourniquet be reused on the same patient?+
Yes. The tourniquet is designed for single patient use, meaning it can be applied and removed multiple times throughout one patient's stay before being disposed of, without being transferred to another patient.
Why should healthcare facilities switch from reusable to single patient use tourniquets?+
Research published in the Medical Journal of Australia (2011) found that 61% of reusable tourniquets were colonised with bacteria not normally present on the upper arm, and that multi-resistant organisms including MRSA were detected in 25% of those tested. Single patient use tourniquets significantly reduce this cross-contamination risk.
What size is the RediCare Paediatric Tourniquet?+
The tourniquet measures 35cm long by 1.5cm wide, making it appropriately sized for use on paediatric limbs while still accommodating a range of different arm shapes and sizes.
How does the buckle mechanism work?+
The tourniquet features a simple click buckle that secures quickly and reliably. It includes both a slow release and a quick release mechanism, giving clinicians flexibility in how they decompress the limb following a procedure.
Is this tourniquet suitable for all paediatric patients?+
Yes. The RediCare Paediatric Tourniquet is designed to fit all paediatric limb shapes and sizes, and its soft, comfortable construction makes it suitable for even young or sensitive patients who may find firmer tourniquets uncomfortable.
