When the tourniquet is deflated, blood clots migrate to the heart and lungs, leading to risk of brain infarcts, e.g. post TKA Cognitive Dysfunction. Near perfect exsanguination by NEO-T largely prevents embolization.Cerebral Emboli & Infarction: Small emboli block small arteries, reducing or preventing blood flow to brain regions, followed by small infarctions, resulting mostly in cognitive dysfunction.

Lancet. 1993 Apr 24;341(8852):1057-8)Post operative side effects: Risk of post-op DVT, skin injury, tourniquet burn (20.7%), tourniquet pain (39.7%), and nerve damage.STERILITY ISSUES: Increased risk of Surgical Site Infection (SSI). Non-Sterile Pneumatic Tourniquets are Contaminated. A Potential Cause of SSI. Sterile NEO-T is 100% safe.REDUCED ACCESSIBILITY – WIDE CUFF: Reduced access, especially in obese limb or pediatric cases and limited anatomical visibility during surgery.SIDE EFFECTS DUE TO PRESSURE ON TISSUES: Traditional wide cuffs produce increased uniform pressure inside the limb vs. the NEO-T narrow cuff where axial and radial pressure gradients result in less force on inner tissue.INEFFICIENCIES: Increased preparation and setup time, less procedures, high cost derivative, and OR clutter.Time wasted: Traditional methods require 12 minutes of patient setup time vs. 15 seconds with NEO-T applicationInefficiency and aggregate cost of multiple products used during a procedure that employs the pneumatic tourniquet vs. the single-use sterile NEO-T device.OR clutter and shelf space incurred by the pneumatic tourniquet method is eliminated by NEO-TTechnical Specifications / Features:Sterile, single-use surgical tourniquetNarrow cuff design for increased visibility and accessibilityReduces risk of DVT, pulmonary embolism, and surgical site infectionQuick application (15 seconds)All-in-one device: exsanguination, sterile field, arterial blood blockMinimizes side effects due to pressure on tissue
