Sažetak
Evidence shows that reusable tourniquets could serve as a potential reservoir for bacterial microorganisms in various healthcare settings. Contamination of reusable tourniquets may cause healthcare-associated infections, which are a major threat to patient safety, leading to increased morbidity, mortality, prolonged hospital length of stay and increased healthcare costs.
