SOF Tourniquet – Black

SOF Tourniquet by TACMED Solutions

nThe newest evolution of the SOF Tourniquet sets the benchmark for prehospital tourniquets. Purposeful upgrades allow for smoother and faster one-handed and two-handed applications for the most effective bleeding control.nnn

About the SOF Tourniquet

nIts innovative design comes from years of extensive research, material testing, and end-user feedback on and off the battlefield. It continues to evolve with your changing medical response needs when bleeding control is needed most. The SOF Tourniquet easily slides over an arm or leg. It unclips at the buckle to fit around hard-to-reach areas, such as a trapped limb.nnIn developing the SOF Tourniquet, we asked customers about their experiences and the features that would be most important to them. The feedback gathered is shown in the tourniquet’s improved design and effectiveness. It is stronger, lighter, and easier to use so you can stop the bleed anywhere life takes you.nnOur patented SOF Tourniquet was designed by a Special Forces medic while on deployment in Afghanistan in 2003 to save lives. It is still the preferred tourniquet for elite military forces and emergency responders worldwide.nnn

Features of the SOF Tourniquet

n

Performance Compression Band

nReinforced polyester webbing maximizes compression during the application process. At a true 1.5″ width, the performance material glides through the Rugged Buckle for quick, snag-free operation and minimizes loss of pressure over time after application.n

Slack Indicator Wedge

nStitched into the Performance Compression Band below the windlass. The contrasting wedge offers a visual confirmation you have pulled all excess slack from the band. This is a critical step for proper tourniquet application and results in fewer windlass rotations required to reach occlusionn

Rugged Buckle

nEngineered to remove excess slack in a single fluid motion. The buckle’s shape stabilizes the Performance Compression Band at any angle of engagement. The Rugged Buckle is an advanced, lightweight composite design with superior strength over previous versionsn

High-strength Aluminum Windlass

nMachined from a single aircraft-grade aluminum bar stock, the 5.5” windlass features signature conical ends and grip-friendly texture for consistent torque. Its anodized finish minimizes impacts from environmental elements for durability in any scenarion

Tourniquet Retention Assistance Clip (TRAC)

nConveniently holds the windlass in place until you can secure it into the Tri-Ring Lock. The Trac provides steady handling during tough applications and enhances control for one-handed movementsn

Tri-Ring Lock

nComplete the tourniquet application by securing the windlass into the Tri-Ring Lock. It can easily be manipulated with just one hand and prevents the windlass from shifting during patient movementn

Time tag

nA tag for documenting the tourniquet application time.
