Zimmer ATS 4000TS Automatic Tourniquet System with Dual Hoses and Sensor

Description

The A.T.S. 4000TS Tourniquet System is intended to be used to temporarily occlude blood flow in a patient’s extremities during surgical procedures on those extremities. Tourniquets have been found useful in producing a bloodless operation field in surgical procedures involving the extremities including: • Reduction of certain fractures. • Kirschner wire removal. • Subcutaneous fasciotomy. • Nerve injuries. • Bone grafts. • Total wrist joint replacement. • Knee joint replacements. • Amputations. • Tumor and cyst excisions. • Tendon repair. • Replacement of joints in the fingers. • Replantations.
The A.T.S. 4000 strives to personalize pressure for the patient by delivering the minimum tourniquet pressure at a specific time, with a specific cuff, for a specific patient limb. Personalized Pressure Technology can help OR Staff choose a more individual, often lower, cuff pressure. Lower tourniquet cuff pressure reduces post-operative wound complications after Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA).1 Applying lower tourniquet pressure has been found to result in less post-operative pain. One study demonstrated that an average thigh tourniquet pressure of 230 mmHg resulted in statistically significant lower pain over a multi-day recovery period versus a tourniquet pressure of 350 mmHg.2 Minimizing tourniquet pressure and pressure gradients by using Personalized Pressure Technology helps minimize the risk of nerve-related injuries.
