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 avulsion
• 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.
