The most effective windlass tourniquet on the market. The tourniquet is comprised of high-strength, lightweight alloy components. Its design allows the tourniquet to slide over a limb or, if the limb is trapped, the tourniquet can be rapidly disconnected and reconnected around the limb without rethreading the strap. With one application method for both the arm and the leg. Is the easiest tourniquet to operate under stress, which can lead to reduced levels of blood loss and ultimately better quality patient care.
The SOF® Tourniquet is approved for use by the Department of Defense, approved for use by the Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care, and the tourniquet of choice for the American Red Cross.
SOF Tourniquet
The SOF Tactical Tourniquet Gen 4 is the result of an extensive 24-month research program collecting end-user research and laboratory studies to develop a more effective, easier-to-use tourniquet for all environments. High-strength, lightweight alloy components are used in critical areas of function. This ensuring reliability in the most challenging of circumstances and on the largest of limbs. This was all achieved while reducing the weight by about 15% in the SOF Tactical Tourniquet Gen 4.
The design allows for rapid routing of the tourniquet strap while eliminating need for re-threading the webbing through a buckle. By eliminating the requirement to re-route the webbing, the tourniquet is easier to use.
