Boiko,
M., and M. Roffman. "Evaluation of a novel tourniquet
device for bloodless surgery of the hand." The Journal
of Hand Surgery 29B No. 2 (2004): 185-87. Print.
This study evaluates a new device (S-MART ) for exsanguination and occlusion
of the blood flow to the arm for hand surgery. The device consists of a
silicone ring wrapped within a sterile stockinette and pull straps. It
is applied by placing it on the patient's fingers and rolling it up the
limb to the desired occlusion site by pulling on the straps. The time for
placement and removal of the device was measured during trigger release
and carpal tunnel surgery and the quality of exsanguination was evaluated.
The device could be placed and removed quickly and provided an excellent
bloodless field. At follow-up examination no signs or symptoms were seen
at the site of the S-MART occlusion and no complications were observed
in any patient.

Eidelman,
Mark, Alexander Katzman, and Viktor Bialik. "A novel
elastic exsanguination tourniquet as an alternative to." Journal
of Pediatric Orthopedics B 15.5 (2006): 379-84. Print.
We describe our experience with a novel surgical exsanguination tourniquet
(S-MART; OHK Medical Devices, Haifa, Israel) in clinical pediatric orthopedics.
We evaluated the surgical exsanguination tourniquet's properties and clinical
use in 51 patients and compared our observations with our long-standing
experience with the Esmarch bandage, pneumatic tourniquet and sterile stockinet.
Using the surgical exsanguination tourniquet, we found superior exsanguination
quality, quick application and the ability to place the occlusion ring
closer to the surgical field. No side effects or ischemic complications
were observed. After removal, the skin under the ring was intact in all
cases. We conclude that the surgical exsanguination tourniquet is safe
and valuable in our practice.
