Testimonials
The HemaClear® Technique is Unparalleled
--Dr. David Helfet, Chief of Orthopedic Trauma,
Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS), NYC, USA
S-MART® tourniquet provides a good intra-operative haemostasis and is easy to apply. This tourniquet helps to exsanguinate; this frees up theatre personnel, saves resources and decreases tourniquet time for surgery.
--Dr. Arvind Mohan, Kingston General Hospital,
Kingston Hospital NHS Trust, Kingston upon Thames, Surrey, UK
The surgical procedures were under excellent visibility conditions with the SET. The SET was found to be safe for use in trauma while performing the axial stretching technique under imaging control.
-- Dr. Nir Hous, Orthopedic Department B,
Rambam Medical Center, Haifa, Israel
The HemaClear® (SET) represents an efficient and safe substitution for the traditional pneumatic tourniquet and/or the Esmarch Bandage. It saves application time and can be applied over an open incision due to its sterility. It provides a bloodless field without leg elevation. It can be rolled up to the desired level according to the surgical exposure. No complications or adverse effects were observed.
--Dr. Eyal Melamed, Rambam Medical Center, and the Rappaport Faculty of Medicine, Technion, Haifa, Israel
The tourniquet is rollable so it does not have to set on the same narrow spot as long as the regular tourniquet, reducing the potential for nerve invagination...a good time-saver and money saver...
-- Robert D. Beckenbaugh, MD, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN
I have been using HemaClear® for two years at the Brigham and have found it offers a significant clinical advantage over [the] pneumatic tourniquet, mainly because it's so thin that it gives much more working room above the elbow in a bloodless field. It is safe and reliable.
--George Dyer, MD Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston, MA
Made this case easier because patient had a BIG leg, we experienced more even compression (during exsanguination); and had better flexion control during procedure because there is more surgical room due to a narrower cuff with the HemaClear
--Dr. Ira Evans, North Shore Medical Center, Boston, US
I would not have been able to have such a positive outcome for this patient without the use of the HemaClear. Large patient… our regular tourniquets haven’t worked in past. Made a very difficult case much easier
-- Dr. Lawrence Geuss, Newton Wellesley Hospital, Boston, US
HemaClear will expedite exposure and create a dry field for cementation. In the expanding obese patient population this device can be a great help in expediting the procedure
--Wayne M. Goldstein, MD, Chief, Division of Orthopaedic Surgery: Rush North Shore Medical Center, Skokie, IL
Superior exsanguination” & “easier to use” ratings over esmarch & pneumatic cuff technique
--Dr. Jesse Jupiter, Director, MGH Orthopedic Hand Service, Boston, US
I would emphasize the technological advancement combines with its elegant simplicity. Attributes if simplicity, sterility, elimination of medical errors (wrong tourniquet settings, failure to connect, etc.), and reliability are all worth emphasis.
-- Leslie M. Mathews, MD, Chairman, Orthopedic Surgery, Union Memorial Hospital, Baltimore, MD
The hemostasis was great and the low profile of the HemaClear® made fracture reduction and locking screw fixation easy.
--James Duke, MD, Ocala Regional Medical Center, Ocala Florida
As we use it more we discover many advantages we never realized...we also saved on OR time by at least 10 minutes...I can no longer justify losing blood in patients that I can currently avoid such blood loss with [HemaClear®].
--Dror Paley, MD, Director, Paley Advanced Limb Lengthening Institute at St. Mary’s Hospital in West Palm Beach, Florida
