3 Cube introduces T-Ring, a digital tourniquet designed to give health care providers a safer and more effective option to current digital tourniquet methods. While current digital tourniquet methods are effective, they all have the risk of complications associated with their use such as excess pressure and necrosis due to prolonged application. The T-Ring is the only digital tourniquet that automatically adjusts to the size of the digit, resulting in a safe, reliable pressure with each use. In fact, the T-Ring has been shown to effectively provide haemostasis while applying less pressure than any other tourniquet method! This makes the “T-Ring” the safest, most efficient and effective digital tourniquet in use today.
| T-Ring vs other methods |
The T-Ring instantly exsanguinates as it is slid onto the digit, providing immediate haemostasis and ideal wound visualization. The device comprises a brightly-coloured outer plastic ring within which is a flexible disc which itself contains a hole. This is supplied in a sterile packet and can be pushed over the lacerated digit to exsanguinate it and provide haemostasis. The ring has two “cutaway” sections on it, which allow its two halves to be separated, pulled apart and gently moved over a larger laceration if appropriate. Similarly, the device can either be gently slid off the finger or the plastic outer ring can be broken and the inner flexible portion cut.
There are a number of other methods to stop bleeding. A study has shown that this device provides sufficient pressure to provide haemostasis but at a pressure which is lower than that of a Penrose drain or surgical glove tourniquet and therefore is less likely to cause tissue injury.
Indications
- Wound exploration for foreign bodies, or underlying tendon, bone or joint injuries
- Wound repair of lacerations, avulsions, and tip amputations
- Management of nail and nail bed injuries
- Achievement of complete haemostasis to allow closure of smaller wounds with adhesive strips; eliminating the need for painful injections and costly, time consuming suturing
- Drainage of paronychia, and finger and toe abscesses
The T-Ring is also indicated for the management of the following elective procedures:
- Elective tendon, bone or joint surgery
- Excision of tumours, warts and other deformities
- Wound or scar revisions
- Biopsies
The T-RING Advantage!
The T-Ring has numerous advantages when compared to current digital tourniquet methods:
- Automatically adjusts to any size digit
- Safe pressure – every time
- Unlike other methods, it cannot be over tightened
- Immediate haemostasis provides ideal wound visualisation
- Highly visible, will not be forgotten on the digit
- Slides over lacerations, avulsions and traumatic skin flaps
- Faster and easier to use than any other method
- A breakthrough in digital tourniquet safety!
