Instructions for use

  • The tourniquet must be placed before disinfecting the injection site.
  • It must only be lightly tightened, as if it is too tight for too long, it can cause a lack of blood supply.
  • It should be loosened as soon as the needle is placed in the vein, before injecting the product.

Finding a vein without a tourniquet

There are several ways to gain access to superficial veins in the arms:

  • Clenching and unclenching the fist;
  • Rotation movements with the arm;
  • Leaving the arm to hang down;
  • Allowing warm water to flow over the arm;
  • Rubbing the arm with an alcohol swab.



Precautions for use

Never share a tourniquet: risk of virus transmission (Hepatitis C Virus [HCV], etc.).

Regular disinfection is required: risk of bacterial contamination if not disinfected.
