SOF® Tourniquet. Built for Survival. Engineered for Efficiency.
The SOF® Tourniquet sets the benchmark for pre-hospital tourniquets. Designed for rapid one-handed or two-handed applications, the SOF® Tourniquet’s reinforced, low-stretch polyester pressure band easily slides over an arm or a leg.
Its durable buckle quickly un-hooks and re-hooks, allowing access to confined spaces and trapped limbs. An indicator wedge is stitched beneath the windlass to visually confirm when all slack is removed, ensuring an effective application.
The aircraft grade aluminum windlass rod features a textured grip for consistent twisting. The windlass secures into a Tri-Ring Lock™ and Tourniquet Retention Assistance Clip™ (TRAC).

SOF® Tourniquet Features Guide:
- 1. PERFORMANCE COMPRESSION BAND - reinforced polyester webbing that maximises compression and speed of application. At a true 1.5” width, the material smoothly glides through the Rugged Buckle for easy and effective one-handed and two-handed applications.
- 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 stabilises the Performance Compression Band at any angle of engagement. The Rugged Buckle is an advanced, lightweight composite design with superior strength over previous versions.
- 4. HIGH-STRENGTH ALUMINIUM WINDLASS - machined from a single aircraft-grade aluminum bar stock, the 5.5” windlass features signature conical ends and grip-friendly texture for consistent torque. Its anodized finish minimizes impacts from environmental elements for durability in any scenario.
- 5. TORNIQUET RENTION ASSISTANCE CLIP (TRAC) - conveniently holds the windlass in place until you can secure it into the Tri-Ring Lock™. The Trac provides steady handling during tough applications and enhances control for one-handed movements.
- 6. TRI-RING LOCK - complete the tourniquet application by securing the windlass into the Tri-Ring Lock. It can easily be manipulated with just one hand and prevents the windlass from shifting during patient movement.
- 7. TIME TAG - a tag for documenting the tourniquet application time
