What is a Disposable Vari Fit Contour Tourniquet Cuff?

The Delfi Disposable Vari Fit Contour Tourniquet Cuff and Matching Limb Protection Sleeve System was developed because people differ so much in the shape of their extremities. The Delfi Disposable Vari Fit Contour Tourniquet Cuff System allows most extremities to be fitted with just four cuff styles.

All Delfi Disposable Vari Fit Contour Tourniquet Cuffs feature contoured shape and pivoting fasteners which can be used to adjust cuff shape to closely match the shape of most adult limbs. Delfi Disposable Vari Fit Contour Tourniquet Cuffs are particularly useful for the tapered (conical) thighs and arms of many muscular and obese patients, and for foot and ankle surgery of most adults.

All Delfi Disposable Vari Fit Contour Tourniquet Cuffs also feature an extra Velcro patch to help achieve a snug application.

The enhanced fit of these wider cuffs provides a clean, bloodless surgical field at lower pressures, so surgical procedures can be completed as efficiently and expediently as possible. Because the Delfi Disposable Vari Fit Contour Tourniquet Cuffs fit the extremities so well, occlusion of arterial bloodflow can be achieved with pressures as low as 200 mmHg for the single bladder style and 250 mmHg for the dual bladder style.

Delfi Disposable Vari Fit Contour Tourniquet Cuffs can be used to achieve occlusion of arterial bloodflow at even lower pressures - near the ideal Minimum Effective Pressure for each patient - using techniques described in the medical literature that are based on measuring the Limb Occlusion Pressure of individual patients (see Recently Published Results).

To safely achieve and maintain occlusion of arterial bloodflow at low pressures, Delfi Disposable Vari Fit Contour Tourniquet Cuffs are specifically designed for use with Zimmer's A.T.S.® 3000, A.T.S.® 2000 and A.T.S.® 750 Automatic Tourniquet Systems, as well as with Zimmer's older A.T.S.® 1500 and A.T.S.® 500 Automatic Tourniquet Systems*.

Delfi Disposable Vari Fit Contour Tourniquet Cuffs are wider than standard tourniquet cuffs (5.5 vs. 4.0 inches or 14 vs. 10 cm) in accordance with the Association of periOperative Registered Nurses' guidelines which recommend using as wide a cuff as possible**.
