• A true 1.5" constricting band for increase constricting pressure and patient comfort.
• Newly designed quick-compression buckle technology that allows for: Rapid re-routing of the band around trapped limbs without re-threading.
• Smoother buckle manipulation. Easier one-handed application. Faster application time. Increased durability.
• 15% lighter than the current SOF Tourniquet and reduced size for easier storage. Dimensions: 5.25" H x 2" W x 1.75" D Weight: 4 oz.
• Lower-profile, lighter weight alloy components, providing the required strength and durability only metal can offer. Single application method regardless of location.

This is the Generation 4 SOFTT-W, but in a Coyote Tan color for compatibility with camo or tan clothing and gear. The new SOF Tourniquet 1.5" Gen 4 has incorporated some key improvements from it's predecessor. It is 15% lighter, offers a new buckle and retention clip that are faster and easier to use (especially for one-handed attachment), and the windlass is now longer to provide more torque on application. The SOF Tourniquet-W (SOFTT-W) emerges from an exhaustive research initiative that compiled end-user research and laboratory studies. The resulting tourniquet is more effective and easier to use in all environments. High-strength, light-weight alloy components are used in areas of critical function, ensuring reliability in the most challenging of circumstances. It accommodates the largest limbs. All of this was accomplished while achieving a weight reduction of around 15%. The SOFTT-W high strength hook and buckle interface was recently re-designed for both patient and provider, providing security, strength and ease of application. The design allows for rapid routing of the tourniquet strap while eliminating need for re-threading the webbing through a buckle. Eliminating the requirement to re-route the webbing makes the tourniquet easier to use when operating under stress. This reduces application time, helps to reduce levels of blood loss and enables better quality patient care. The SOFTT-W also has a true 1 ½" tourniquet strap that sets a wider compression pattern than most standard tourniquets, or tourniquets with a 1" constricting band moving through a 1 ½" sleeve. This broader compression pattern allows for increased patient comfort and additional arterial compression. The tourniquet handle is machined from a single piece of high strength aluminum bar stock. The strength of the handle virtually eliminates the risk of product failure. It is then anodized to minimize the products signature in a environment.
