BANDAGE, ESMARCH

Definition

Esmarch bandage is a narrow soft rubber bandage that is used to expel venous blood from a limb (exsanguinate) that has had its arterial supply cut off by a tourniquet. The limb is often elevated as the elastic pressure is applied.

The exsanguination is necessary to enable some types of delicate reconstructive surgery where bleeding would obscure the working area. A bloodless area is also required to introduce local anaesthetic agents for a regional nerve block.

Synonym

Esmarch's bandage for surgical haemostasis or Esmarch's tourniquet

  • Natural rubber
  • Dimensions: approx. 6 cm x 5 m x 0.8 mm
