The SOF® Tactical Tourniquet is one
of the top performing tourniquets currently available. It is the tourniquet of
choice for many of the world's most elite and experienced warriors who have
selected it for its outstanding ability to control severe bleeding, high level
of reliability and ease of application. While some military units have replaced
their issue tourniquets with the SOFTT, others military units have implemented
SOP's stating that the SOF® Tactical Tourniquet is to be used on all lower
extremity bleeds. That means the SOFTT is the tourniquet that trusted to
control the most severe extremity hemorrhage on the battlefield.
The key to successful implementation
of a device to be used in a high stress environment is training and ease of
use. For law enforcement officers, application of the tourniquet is similar to
the use of a hobble. This existing level of familiarity reduces training time
and aids in the effectiveness of the device.
Advantages of the SOF® Tactical Tourniquet
100% Effective: Proven to be 100% effective during US Army Institute of Surgical Research
testing.
The SOFTT is applied the same to an arm or leg. Unlike other tourniquets
that require you to learn two methods of application and implement the
proper method when under stress, the SOFTT is applied the same way to an
arm or leg. By accounting for the factors of human performance in combat
we have minimized the risk of failure. Applying a tourniquet should not be
a multiple choice exam, it should be simple and straight forward. The
SOFTT provides the necessary effectiveness with an unmatched level of
simplicity to increase the overall effectiveness of the device.
The SOFTT is constructed of quality, high strength materials. The
tourniquet handle is machined from a solid piece of aircraft aluminum and
maintains its strength in extreme temperatures. The tri-rings are molded
Acetyl, a high impact plastic that will also maintain its strength in
extreme operating conditions.
The SOF® Tactical Tourniquet is designed to reduce the chance of
accidental release or mechanical failure. Unlike other materials including
Velcro®, the fastening system will perform when soiled, muddy, frozen, or
wet.
Prevents accidental release of pressure during tactical patient movement.
The screw is not required to gain hemorrhage control, but it is
recommended if the patient will be moved in a tactical environment.
Dual locking rings offer a back up locking system.
Made in the USA.
