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.
