| description | BACKGROUND
Surgery on digit and nail requires a clear bloodless field that is often achieved by a tourniquet.
OBJECTIVE
The objective is to present a simple, effective, and safe tourniquet for digital surgery.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
A latex glove and a nylon zip‐tie were used. A long strip is cut from the little finger tube of a latex glove. This is used for wrapping around the digit for exsanguination. The pressure is then maintained with a household nylon zip‐tie. The finger strip is then cut to expose the operative field ready for surgery. The tourniquet pressure can be adjusted by tightening or loosening of the nylon zip‐tie.
RESULTS
Exsanguination and a bloodless field can be effectively achieved. The long tail of the nylon zip‐tie reminds the operator to remove it at end of the surgery.
CONCLUSION
A latex strip and nylon zip‐tie combo serves as a simple, effective, and safe tourniquet for digital surgery. |
