Abstract
Digital tourniquets have been used worldwide in finger and toe surgery. Digital tourniquets of various types have been used, and a rolled glove technique provides a simple and quick method. We have modified a rolled glove technique to prevent iatrogenic complications associated with digital tourniquets being inadvertently left in place after surgery.
