Key Features of the SOF-T Tactical Tourniquet
- Rapid One-Handed Application: Engineered for speed, the SOF-T slides effortlessly over a limb and can be applied with one or two hands in seconds – critical for self-aid or high-stress emergencies.
- True 1.5-Inch Wide Compression Band: The reinforced polyester webbing maximizes arterial occlusion while enhancing patient comfort, outperforming narrower designs with superior pressure distribution.
- High-Strength Aluminum Windlass: Machined from aircraft-grade aluminum, the 5.5” windlass features a textured grip and conical ends for consistent torque, securing into a Tri-Ring Lock™ and Tourniquet Retention Assistance Clip™ (TRAC) for unyielding stability.
- Rugged Quick-Compression Buckle: A lightweight, advanced composite design removes slack in one fluid motion, ensuring snag-free operation and sustained pressure over time.
- Slack Indicator Wedge: Stitched beneath the windlass, this visual cue confirms all excess slack is removed, streamlining application and reducing windlass turns needed for occlusion.
