The SOF Tactical Tourniquet Wide (SOFTT-W) Gen 4 is a professional-grade windlass tourniquet built for arterial haemorrhage control on high-mass limbs. It is one of only two windlass tourniquets approved by the US Department of Defense and the Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care (CoTCCC), and is the tourniquet of choice for the American Red Cross.
Trusted by military operators, police, fire and EMS paramedics, and prepared civilians, the SOFTT-W is recognised for its efficacy and ease of application under pressure.
Key features
- 5.5" aluminium windlass: the longer windlass eases the process of securing into the clip and tri-ring, improving the dual retention system.
- Quick-compression buckle: rounded edges allow smoother manipulation, easier one-handed application, and faster overall application time.
- 1.5" true-width compression band: works effectively on legs and other high-mass limbs.
- Slack indicator wedge and rugged buckle for reliable seating.
What does SOF stand for? Special Operations Forces. The tourniquet is manufactured by Tactical Medical Solutions in the USA.
SOFTT-W vs CAT tourniquet: both are CoTCCC-approved windlass tourniquets. The SOFTT-W uses a metal windlass and buckle and a true 1.5" wide band, which many operators prefer for lower-limb application and durability in harsh environments.
