Advantages of the SOF Tactical Tourniquet
1. 100% Effective. Proven to be 100% effective during USAISR testing.
2. Durability. The SOFTT is constructed of quality, high strength materials. The tourniquet handle is machined from a solid piece of aircraft aluminum and maintains its strength in the most extreme temperatures. The tri-rings are molded Acetyl, a high impact plastic that will also maintain its strength in extreme temperatures.SOFTT with Molle pouches
3. No Velcro® is used to maintain tension. This greatly reduces the chance of accidental release of the tourniquet during patient movement. Our buckle will also perform when dirty, muddy or sandy. Blood + sand = mud. Velcro® does not work when it is dirty.
4. Safety set screw prevents accidental release of pressure during tactical patient movement.
5. Dual locking rings provide a back up in the event of a broken ring.
6. Low maintenance. Safety screws and buckles are now factory coated with a rust preventative/lubricant
7. Repairable. The SOFT Tourniquet can be easily repaired if it is damaged. 550 cord, boot laces or zip ties can be used to replace the tri-rings. Nothing is indestructible and being able to repair equipment in the field is a necessity for soldiers.
