Pneumatic tourniquets (PTs) are commonly used in local anaesthetic cases in the upper limb to provide a bloodless operating field. They give excellent efficacy however their limitations have prompted the introduction of a new single-use sterile silicone ring tourniquet (SRT). The evidence of use of the SRT over the standard PT is limited. To compare the level of perceived pain, and therefore tolerance, of the Silicone Ring and Pneumatic tourniquets when applied to the upper arm and to evaluate whether there was a clear benefit of use of either tourniquet in local anaesthetic procedures of the upper limb.Introduction
