The SOF® Tactical Tourniquet (SOFT-T) is the tourniquet of choice for many of the world's most elite and experienced warriors who have selected it for its outstanding ability to control severe bleeding, high level of reliability and ease of application. While some military units have replaced their issued tourniquets with the SOFT-T, other units have implemented SOP's stating that the SOFT-T is to be used on all lower extremity bleeds. That means the SOFT-T is the tourniquet they trust to control the most severe extremity hemorrhage on the battlefield.

The key to successful implementation of a device to be used in a high stress environment is training and ease of use. For law enforcement officers, application of the tourniquet is similar to the use of a hobble. This existing level of familiarity reduces training time and aids in the effectiveness of the device.

Advantages of the SOFT-T

  • 100% Effective. Proven to be 100% effective during US Army Institute of Surgical Research testing.
  • Simple application. The SOFT-T is applied the same to an arm or leg. Unlike other tourniquets that require you to learn two methods of application and implement the proper method when under stress, the SOFT-T is applied the same way to an arm or leg. By accounting for the factors of human performance in combat we have minimized the risk of failure. Applying a tourniquet should not be a multiple choice exam, it should be simple and straight forward. The SOFT-T provides the necessary effectiveness with an unmatched level of simplicity to increase the overall effectiveness of the device.
  • Durability. The SOFT-T is constructed of quality, high strength materials. The tourniquet handle is machined from a solid piece of aircraft aluminum and maintains its strength in extreme temperatures. The tri-rings are molded Acetyl, a high impact plastic that will also maintain its strength in extreme operating conditions.
  • Reliable. The SOF® Tactical Tourniquet is designed to reduce the chance of accidental release or mechanical failure. Unlike other materials including Velcro, the fastening system will perform when soiled, muddy, frozen, or wet.
  • Safety set screw prevents accidental release of pressure during tactical patient movement. The screw is not required to gain hemorrhage control, but it is recommended if the patient will be moved in a tactical environment.
  • Dual locking rings offer a back up locking system.

    Difficult to Use

    Posted by Erik Schetina on 10 18 2021

    I was trained on the CAT TQ and tried this out since it folds flatter than the CAT. After working with it for a while, I still find it hard to apply and tighten effectively. It seems to slip around more than the cat, and the strap buckle doesn't stay aligned as I'm tightening it unless I apply it perfectly. My feeling is that if I can't figure it out after 30 minutes of watching videos and practicing on myself, it's probably not something I want to use in a real emergency.

    SOFT-T GENERATION II TOURNIQUET

    After over 30 years in EMS/Fire Rescue/SAR, this is my go-to tourniquet! No velcro which to me seems like a no brainer for those that work in unstable environments. I also enjoy the new generations of these tourniquets also.

    This is a good TQ but there are better ones out on the market now. It still works great but not as easy to use as the CAT or the gen 3 soft T
