Ok thanks once again, I do have some iodine that I could use
Yeah. The reason I prefer Chlorhexidine is because it has 12 hours of residual action. Iodine though is nice because you can't really miss a spot. It turns the whole area brown/red. It's pretty much a personal preference thing. In terms of washing your hands, a Chlorhexidine soap is imho essential. I mean, since you're working on you, the risk of blood borne pathogens is limited at best. Then next best would be to scrub them very well with a plain soap and then once dry, use an alcohol based hand sanitizer. It's better than nothing and definitely better then triclosan. I thought that "anti-bac" soaps were banned by the FDA? What does it list as its active ingredient?
What are you using as a tourniquet? The best is specifically a finger tourniquet such as a tournicot ring, but another really good option is a penrose drain. The tighten down really well. I used to actually use silicone hair bands. The silicone is cool because they can even be autoclaved. The problem though is that if you put on a thin band like those too tightly you can actually get nerve damage. A thicker band is much better and not too tight. Tighter is definitely not better. Use the minimum pressure needed to prevent bleeding. Believe it or not, you can leave a surgical tourniquet on an arm for HOURS without permanent damage. I'm not advising this, but it is done. A surgical tourniquet is fantastic and it works at lower pressure. The thinner a band is, the more likely you'll damage someone.
Guys why do you need bleach?

As after care

I'll keep that in mind
Don't reuse these tools on anyone or you're going to spread blood borne pathogens. You know that cyberise.me sells an entire kit right?
