Objective: The objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness of the Esmarch bandage and exsanguination tourniquet rings (ETRs) in blood evacuation procedures using a controlled intra-subject design involving healthy volunteers.
Methods: A total of 20 healthy adult volunteers (12 males, 8 females) were recruited from the community. Participants underwent blood evacuation procedures on both legs, using the Esmarch bandage on one leg and the ETR on the other.

Background: Excessive intraoperative bleeding remains a challenge in limb surgeries. The exsanguination tourniquet ring has emerged as a potential solution for effective exsanguination and hemostasis. This study aims to evaluate its efficacy and safety compared to the conventional exsanguination and hemostasis approach (pneumatic tourniquet combined with Esmarch bandage).

Introduction: Ultrasound is used for peripheral intravenous (PIV) cannulation in patients with difficult landmark-guided IV access in the Emergency Department. Distal-to-proximal application of an Esmarch bandage on the target limb has been suggested as a method for increasing vein size and ease of cannulation.
Methods: This study was a single-blinded crossover randomized controlled trial comparing basilic vein size under ultrasound with use of an Esmarch bandage in addition to standard IV tourniquet ("tourniquet + Esmarch") compared to use of a standard IV tourniquet alone.

Background: Tourniquets are common adjuncts in the operating theatre but can be associated with post-operative pain. This study was designed to compare what effect pre-tourniquet Esmarch bandage exsanguination has on pain, compared to pre-tourniquet exsanguination by elevation alone.
Methods: 52 volunteers (104 lower limbs) were included in this study with each volunteer acting as their own matched control.
Background: In recent years, the endovenous technique has been presented as a good alternative to surgery in the treatment of patients with lower extremity varicose veins. However, its effectiveness in very advanced saphenous vein diameters is controversial. In this study, we investigated the results of an endovenous glue ablation closure system applied with an esmarch bandage in saphenous veins with very large diameters.
