Cuff pressure safety margin
When you measure LOP, an additional pressure margin based on recommenda-
tions in published surgical literature is added to the automatically measured
LOP to provide a "recommended tourniquet pressure" (RTP) as a guideline to
help the surgical staff select the lowest tourniquet pressure that will safely stop
arterial blood flow for the duration of a surgical procedure. Such systems let
you select the RTP as the tourniquet pressure for that patient or to select anoth-
er pressure based on the physician's discretion or the protocol at the institution
where the surgery is being performed.
The difference in pressure between the measured LOP and the selected
tourniquet pressure can be defined as the cuff pressure safety margin, which is
Only our Tourniquet Systems have Personalized Pressure™ Technology
One component of Personalized Pressure™ Technology is
Limb Occlusion Pressure (LOP) – the ability to calculate and
recommend patient-specific tourniquet pressure.
