Matching Limb Protection Sleeves

  • Delfi's Matching Limb Protection Sleeves are intended to help protect skin and soft tissues beneath tourniquet cuffs
  • Each Delfi Matching Limb Protection Sleeve is intended for use with a specific Delfi Tourniquet Cuff
  • Each Sleeve helps protect underlying skin and soft tissues from injuries such as pinching, wrinking and shearing
  • Each Delfi Sleeve applies a pressure less than that of a snugly wrapped tourniquet cuff, within the recommended limb size range for the matching Delfi Cuff

In extensive testing using a molding and digitizing technique, Delfi research staff have found that a fitted sleeve that is matched to a specific cuff and that applies a controlled amount of compression to the limb virtually eliminates pinching and wrinkling of the underlying skin.

In contrast, wrinkling and pinching of the skin using 2 layers of cast padding is often just as severe as when the cuff is applied directly to bare skin.
