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 issued tourniquets with the SOF®TT, 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 SOF®TT is the
tourniquet 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.
- Simple application.
The SOF®TT 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 SOF®TT 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 SOF®TT provides the necessary effectiveness
with an unmatched level of simplicity to increase the overall
effectiveness of the device.
- Durability. The SOF®TT 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.
- Reliable. 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.
- Safety set screw
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.
