daisygrip Wipe Clean Hygienic Reusable Vein Box

Product Information

The Daisygrip One is an innovative tourniquet designed for single-patient use, offering the benefits of both reusable and disposable tourniquets in a single product. The tourniquet can be safely used mutiple times on the same patient, making it an economical, environmentally-friendly, and hygienic choice. By using a new tourniquet with each patient, the risk of nosocomial infections resulting from insufficient wipe disinfection is effectively eliminated.

Data showed that the ST carry less bacteria than the CT after 1 day of usage, though they were not more frequently processed. The effect was more pronounced in the second trial than in the first trial with strict recommendations of reprocessing. This might suggest that this effect is stronger in ‘real’ practice. As there were also different manifestations of the effect between the facilities of the second trial, it could be possible that the deviation of the preliminary trial is caused only by variation between different facilities.

For consumers, the right of withdrawal does not apply to contracts for the delivery of sealed goods that are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after delivery.

In routine, there are no strict guidelines for reprocessing as in the first trial. Further, there is no recommendation for cleaning conventional tourniquets with disinfectant wipes. In addition, the fabric turned wet after wiping – a condition that could be perceived as uncomfortable for the patient when re-used immediately. Thus, we provided tourniquets together with the manufacturers’ instructions only to avoid biasing the staff towards one particular method of reprocessing.

Project Overview

Cost Savings: Traditional disposable tourniquets not only generate significant waste but also increase the risk of infections, leading to higher overall costs compared to the efficient and reusable Daisygrip.

There was no obvious correlation between the number of blood sampling processes and the contamination level being in accordance with the study of Schulz-Stübner et al. where no correlation between the bacterial load and duration or frequency of use was noticed [ 5]. The number of blood sampling processes of this present study was similar to the range found in other studies [ 19].

Brand Loyalty– Departments had been using the same brand of single use tourniquets for several years; ensuring the benefits were communicated, was a critical success factor in getting the trials initiated. The strap of the daisygrip tourniquet is made of silicon, making it particularly skin friendly. Pinching of the skin and loss of circulation to the arm is effectively prevented.

Innovative tourniquet, known from the popular German TV show «Höhle der Löwen» (Shark Tank equivalent) One outpatient clinic used alternately a conventional (CT) or silicone tourniquet (ST) for 1 day (five times). To receive an impression of bacterial contamination under controlled conditions guidelines were given for cleaning tourniquets with disinfectant wipes - either never (1) or each time (2) after blood sampling.
