Toe Tourniquets typical Use in Podiatry

Most nail surgical procedures require the use of a tourniquet. The nail bed, being a very vascular structure, needs to be exsanguinated at the start and then a tourniquet needs to be secured at the base.

Professional nail surgery requires a complete knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the nail unit. Nail structure peculiarities make nail surgery more complicated and prone to bleeding and scarring.

When to Use Toe Tourniquets?

• Digit lacerations and avulsions.
• Nail and nail bed injuries.
• Elective procedures.
• Exploration of foreign bodies and deeper injuries.

How to get the tourniquet ready for surgery

• Tourniquets, like the instruments used in surgical procedures, need to be appropriately disinfected following disinfection procedures used in the clinic.
• Skin also needs to be disinfected prior to the procedure.
