The SOF® Tourniquet Gen 4

Description

The Tourniquet Gen 4 still maintains its true 1.5″ tourniquet strap, providing a wider compression pattern than most standard tourniquets or tourniquets with a 1″ constricting band moving through a 1.5″ sleeve. The wider compression pattern results in additional arterial compression and increased patient comfort. Additionally, each tourniquet ships with two UV-resistant black rubber bands to mount your individual equipment.

The SOF® Tourniquet Gen 4 is approved for use by the Department of Defense, approved for use by the Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care, and the tourniquet of choice for the American Red Cross. Professionals prefer the SOF® Tourniquet Gen 4.  Purchasers range from elite military operators, police, fire,  EMS paramedics, and civilians responsible for first aid.

Improvements to Previous Model:

TRAC – Tourniquet Retention Assistance Clip
The TRAC assists in applications by providing a temporary control point to hold the windlass while engaging the tri-ring.  This results in faster application times.  Double the device’s security in combination with the tri-ring during patient movements. This is especially helpful in one-handed applications and for those who do not have much experience applying tourniquets. The optional TRAC is for application.  Secure the windlass in the tri-ring for proper use.

5.5″ Windlass 
The increase in length eases the process of securing the windlass into the clip and tri-ring, increasing the effectiveness of the dual retention system. It still maintains its distinct conical ends while being machined from a single piece of aircraft-grade aluminum bar stock and anodized to minimize the product’s signature in a tactical environment.

Quick-Compression Buckle
The Quick-Compression Buckle, added to the tourniquet last year, allows for smoother buckle manipulation due to its rounded edges. This also allows for easier one-handed application and overall faster application time.
