Upgrades allow\nfor smoother and faster one-handed and two-handed applications for the most\neffective bleeding control. Its innovative design comes from years of\nextensive research, material testing, and end-user feedback on and off the\nbattlefield. It continues to evolve with your changing medical response needs\nwhen bleeding control is needed most. The SOF Tourniquet easily slides over an\narm or leg. It unclips at the buckle to fit around hard-to-reach areas, such\nas a trapped limb. In developing the GEN5 SOF Tourniquet, Tactical Medical\nSolutions asked customers about their experiences and the features that would\nbe most important to them. The feedback gathered is shown in the tourniquet’s\nimproved design and effectiveness. It is stronger, lighter, and easier to use\nso you can stop the bleed anywhere life takes you. \"Our patented SOF\nTourniquet was designed by a Special Forces medic while on deployment in\nAfghanistan in 2003 to save lives. It is still the preferred tourniquet for\nelite military forces and emergency responders worldwide.\" - TacMed Noteworthy\nFeatures of the SOF Wide Tourniquet: 1) Performance Compression Band\nReinforced polyester webbing maximizes compression during the application\nprocess. At a true 1.5\" width, the performance material glides through the\nRugged Buckle for quick, snag-free operation and minimizes loss of pressure\nover time after application. 2) Slack Indicator Wedge Stitched into the\nPerformance Compression Band below the windlass. The contrasting wedge offers\na visual confirmation you have pulled all excess slack from the band. This is\na critical step for proper tourniquet application and results in fewer\nwindlass rotations required to reach occlusion. 3) Rugged Buckle Engineered to\nremove excess slack in a single fluid motion. The buckle's shape stabilizes\nthe Performance Compression Band at any angle of engagement. The Rugged Buckle\nis an advanced, lightweight composite design with superior strength over\nprevious versions. 4) High-strength Aluminum Windlass Machined from a single\naircraft-grade aluminum bar stock, the 5.5” windlass features signature\nconical ends and grip-friendly texture for consistent torque. Its anodized\nfinish minimizes impacts from environmental elements for durability in any\nscenario. 5) Tourniquet Retention Assistance Clip (TRAC) Conveniently holds\nthe windlass in place until you can secure it into the Tri-Ring Lock. The Trac\nprovides steady handling during tough applications and enhances control for\none-handed movements. 6) Tri-Ring Lock Complete the tourniquet application by\nsecuring the windlass into the Tri-Ring Lock. It can easily be manipulated\nwith just one hand and prevents the windlass from shifting during patient\nmovement. 7) Time tag A tag for documenting the tourniquet application time.\nSpecifications Dimensions: 5.5\"L x 2\"W x 1.75\"D (Folded in Package) Weight:\n3.7oz \/ 105g NSN: 6515-01-696-4522 Patents: US-8,303,620 and D649,642 and\n7,776,064\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul class=\"a\"\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003ePerformance Compression Band Reinforced polyester webbing maximizes compression during the application process.
