Patient Care and Healthcare Cost Problems with Today’s Current Model of Tourniquet Systems

Poor Health Care Quality Associated with Surgical Site Infections

1. Surgical site infections (SSI) are the most costly hospital acquired infection (HAI) type, with an estimated annual cost of $3.3 billion.  

2. A 2019 study found that 33% of tourniquets tested after a postoperative wipe-down were colonized with coagulase negative staphylococcus, which is the predominant bacteria associated with surgical site infections.

Operating Room Inefficiency

A 2022 value-based study evaluated time driven activity-based costing (TDABC) in complex medical facility environments where staff are multi-tasking and thousands of consumables are utilized and found that the average cost per minute in an operating room was $46.04. The purpose of TDABC is to divide complex care into discrete cycles allowing micro-costing assessment and assignment of cost based on time

Rising Surgical Supply Expenses

1. The global surgical tourniquet market is expected to be valued at $952 million by 2030.

2. In 2013, U.S. hospitals spent an average of $3.8 million on medical supplies. This amounted to 15 percent of total hospital expenses.

3. Surgical and Orthopedic specialties accounted for 36% of this expense. 

Complacency with Stagnant Technology

For 42 years the surgical tourniquet design has not changed. Since 1981 what we call the “modern tourniquet system” has consisted of requiring multiple sized tourniquet cuffs, a large space occupying tourniquet machine/air compressor, long air tubing, and manual operation.

Decreased Hospital Consumer Assessment secondary to Tourniquet Pain

Tourniquet pain has been found to occur in 53%-67% of cases.

Demand is Exceeding Supply

“Tourniquet cuffs are in short supply with Stryker having no inventory available and no recovery date, and Zimmer with rolling back orders of limited supply” Vizient, February 2023: Market Supply Update Executive Summary.
