The SOF® Tourniquet Generation 4 represents a significant upgrade, featuring distinct improvements that make it easier, more effective, and faster to apply:
- The new Retention Clip ensures the windlass stays locked in place after application, increasing security and enabling faster application time.
- The redesigned 5.5″ Windlass simplifies securing it into the clip and tri-ring, enhancing the dual retention system for better effectiveness.
- The Quick-Compression Buckle streamlines buckle manipulation with rounded edges, allowing one-handed application for quicker use.
- Reinforced tourniquet material adds durability and strength, solidifying the SOF-T-W as a top choice.
- The tourniquet’s high-strength, lightweight alloy design permits easy limb sliding and rapid disconnection/reconnection with the quick-disconnect buckle, ensuring effortless training and improved skill retention.
- The 1.5″ tourniquet strap provides a wider compression pattern, leading to enhanced arterial compression and greater patient comfort.
- Each tourniquet includes two UV-resistant black rubber bands for easy mounting to individual equipment.
The SOF® Tourniquet Gen 4 comes highly recommended by the Department of Defense, the Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care, Tactical Emergency Casualty Care, and the American Red Cross.
