HemaClear® = NO CONTAMINATION
HemaClear® = A STERILE FIELD – ALWAYS

Pneumatic Tourniquet = 68% CONTAMINATED
Non-Sterile Pneumatic Tourniquets = Potential SURGICAL SITE INFECTION (SSI)
- Non-sterile pneumatic tourniquets are a potential source of MRSA
“All tourniquets in use were found to be contaminated with colony counts ranging from 9 to >385”*
