Kit Builder - Tourniquet (5)

Noted as the best prehospital tourniquet in the February 2008 supplement of The Journal of Trauma The Fastest, Safest, Most Effective Prehospital Field Tourniquet WE SELL ONLY GENUINE North American Rescue CAT TOURNIQUETS that are BRAND NEW! Be wary of imitations, knockoffs, or older generations being sold on E-bay or Amazon.     The patented Combat Application Tourniquet (C-A-T) Gen. 7 is a true one-handed tourniquet proven to be 100% effective by the U.S. Army’s Institute of Surgical Research. Numerous tests held by various laboratories over several years have proved that the C-A-T®  can completely occlude blood flow of an extremity in the event of a traumatic wound with significant hemorrhage.The Combat Application Tourniquet (C-A-T) is operated by turning a durable windlass system that contains a patented free-moving internal band.  This combination has been proven to provide the physical force characteristics necessary to occlude blood flow.  This force is also known as true circumferential pressure to the extremity. Once the tourniquet is adequately tightened, bleeding will cease and the windlass can then be locked into place using the bilateral retaining clips. The tourniquet also features a windlass retention strap that secures via hook and loop over the retaining clips.  This strap can also be used to mark the tourniquet's application time for proper medical management at the definitive care facility. The Combat Application Tourniquet (C-A-T)  unique dual securing system is extremely easy to use under survival stress or where fine motor skills are compromised. PRODUCT ENHANCEMENTS: The Gen 7 features a single routing buckle for faster application, decreased blood loss, effective slack removal, fewer windlass turns. and simplified training with single protocol application standards. The windlass rod has been reinforced, now with increased diameter for enhanced strength and aggressive ribbing for improved grip The bilateral windlass clip allows for rapid windlass lock and added strength The enhanced windlass strap changed has been changed from white to tactical gray and sonic welded to clip for constant contact providing safe windlass security and a place to document the application time The stabilization plate has been reinforced with a beveled contact bar The signature red elliptical tip (Red Tip Technology®) provides visual cue during application The Gen 7 features the patented free-moving internal band for true evenly distributed circumferential pressure  DIMENSIONS:  Packaged: L 6.5 in. x W 2.4 in. x D 1.5 in.

THIS IS THE NEW AND IMPROVED SOF-T Version The SOF® Tourniquet Generation 4  is a true generational upgrade to the most effective tourniquet on the market and now comes with  distinct improvements which makes it easier, more effective, and faster to apply: The new Retention Clip virtually eliminates any risk of the windlass accidentally releasing after the tourniquet has been applied by locking the windlass in place. It makes the windlass easier to secure in one-handed applications, resulting in a faster application time, and doubles the security of the device in combination with the tri-ring during patient movements. The redesigned and longer 5.5" Windlass 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. The Quick-Compression Buckle was added to the tourniquet during a previous update and makes for smoother buckle manipulation due to its rounded edges. This also allows for easier one-handed application and overall faster application time. They even found a way to Reinforce the tourniquet material, making the SOF-T-W a SOLID contender. The SOF-T-W  is comprised of high-strength, lightweight alloy component and its design allows the tourniquet to easily slide over a limb or, if the limb is trapped, the tourniquet can be rapidly disconnected and reconnected around the limb without rethreading the strap via the use of the quick-disconnect buckle.  This allows for easier training and better skill retention since once does not have to worry about looping or un-looping the device.. With one application method for both the arm and the leg, the Gen 4 is the easiest tourniquet to operate under stress, which can lead to reduced levels of blood loss and ultimately better quality patient care.The 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. Lastly, each tourniquet is shipped with two UV-resistant black rubber bands for mounting to your individual equipment.The SOF® Tourniquet Gen 4 is one of a few windlass tourniquets recommended for use by the Department of Defense, recommended for use by the Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care and Tactical Emergency Casualty Care,, and it is the tourniquet of choice for the American Red Cross. Elite military operators form around  world,use the SOF-T-W the largest police departments in the country to fire and EMS paramedics on the streets use the SOF-T-W, civilians in everyday public places just trying to be prepared also use the SOF-T-W..These customers chose the SOF® Tourniquet because it was the best option on the market. And now, the best tourniquet just got better. Made in the USA. U.S. Patent: 8,303,620 and D649,642 and 7,776,064 and patent pending. NSN #: 6515-01-587-9943 Latex-Free.  Noteworthy Upgrades in the New SOF® Tourniquet:   1) Performance Compression Band Completely redesigned webbing maximizes compression during the application process. At a true 1.5” width, the new performance material glides through the Rugged Buckle for quick, snag-free operation and minimizes loss of pressure over time after application. 2) Slack Indicator Wedge Stitched 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 occlusion.  3) Rugged Buckle Engineered to remove excess slack in a single fluid motion. The buckle’s shape stabilizes the Performance Compression Band at any angle of engagement. The new Rugged Buckle is an advanced, lightweight composite design with superior strength over previous versions.

The Tactical Mechanical Tourniquet (TMT™) is a ) is among the latest tourniquets to achieve a CoTCCC recommendation and was subsequently added to the 2019 Tactical Combat Casualty Care guidelines.  It is a device specifically designed for massive hemorrhage control of an extremity and also designed to ensure ease of application and definitively achieve occlusion. Taught as a self-aid and buddy-aid task, the Tactical Mechanical Tourniquet requires minimal training to instantly treat life-threatening hemorrhage of an extremity. The learning curve is quite easy as it requires very similar gross motor skills as other units currently in the market. Additionally, the TMT eliminates shortcomings found in other tourniquets. FAST: True One-Handed Application in 30 seconds or less DURABLE: Co-poly resin acetyl with IR/UV protective additive BETTER: eliminates the current tourniquet “percentage of failure” rate The TMT allows the user the ability to apply the tourniquet one-handed to either upper and lower extremities in 30 seconds or less.  The wider band allows occlusion to be achieved at lower pressures, which increased comfort and reduces injury.  Safety features include a dual locking mechanism to prevent slippage and loss of pressure and audible signature “click” identifies torsion bar is secure. The TMT TQ is made with advanced materials with IR and UV protection, making it less susceptible to the elements from exposure, increasing its service life, and ensuring it works when you need it. It is fully adjustable to accommodate varying limb circumferences ranging from 5-3/4” min to 38” max.
