Taganidze Jgut

The Taganidze tourniquet is an instrument that was developed by surgeon Alexey Romanovich Taganidze to stop bleeding from soft tissue vessels after their surgical intersection. The tourniquet is used in many surgeries including chest, arm, hip, etc.

The history of the invention of the Taganidze tourniquet began in 1952, when Dr. Taganidze began testing a new method of stopping bleeding. It was proposed back in the 80s of the last century, but has only now become widespread in the world of medicine.

The idea is that before surgically cutting the vessels, the doctor must apply strong pressure using a tourniquet. This avoids rupture of blood vessels and reduces the likelihood of bleeding. A tourniquet may also help stop bleeding within a few minutes.

The Taganidze tourniquet has a number of advantages over other methods of stopping bleeding, such as a hemostatic clamp or ligature. It is highly effective and allows you to avoid re-bleeding during surgery. In addition, its use significantly reduces the risk of infection in the body.
