The
SOF® Tactical Tourniquet Wide (SOF®TT-W) is the result of an
exhaustive 24-month research initiative compiling 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 ensuring reliability in the most
challenging of circumstances and on the largest of limbs. This was all
accomplished while reducing the weight by approximately 15%.
The
high-strength hook and buckle interface was designed for security,
strength, and ease of application. 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 when operating under stress
and reduces application time, both of which can result in reduced levels
of blood loss and better quality patient care.
The SOF®TT-W also
has a true 1.5" tourniquet strap providing a wider compression pattern
than most standard tourniquets or tourniquets with a 1" constricting
band moving through a 1.5" sleeve. This broader compression pattern
allows for increased patient comfort and additional arterial
compression.
The tourniquet handle is machined from a single
piece of high-strength aluminum bar stock. The strength of the handle
virtually eliminates the risk of product failure. It is then anodized to
minimize the products signature in a tactical environment.
Each tourniquet ships with two UV resistant black rubber bands for mounting to your individual equipment.
Features:
- A true 1.5" constricting band for increase constricting pressure and patient comfort
- Newly designed quick-compression buckle technology that allows for:
- Rapid re-routing of the band around trapped limbs without rethreading
- Smoother buckle manipulation
- Easier one-handed application
- Faster application time
- Increased durability
- Lower-profile, lighter weight alloy components, providing the required strength and durability only metal can offer
- Single application method regardless of location
- 15% lighter than the current SOF® Tactical Tourniquet and reduced size for easier storage
