The SOF Tourniquet by TacMed excels in extreme reliability and strength. Gen 5 is the latest version of this tourniquet and it features several improvements that make one-handed use easier. Made in the USA.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe SOF is supplied with an illustrated user manual. However, you should learn to use the tourniquet before bad things happen.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eRenewed GEN 5\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe latest version is somewhat lighter because many steel bits have been replaced with high-strength polymer. The tourniquet handle is still machined from a solid piece of aircraft aluminum. The tri-rings are molded Acetyl, a high-impact polymer. All the materials maintain their strength in extreme operating conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMultiple upgrades make one-handed applications easier: The new buckle keeps the webbing stable at any angle you pull. The new webbing maximizes compression during application and it glides through the buckle easier. And the new Slack Indicator Wedge stitching confirms you have pulled all excess slack from the webbing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Applying a tourniquet should be simple. Thus, SOF Tourniquet is applied the same way to an arm or leg. It is also designed to reduce the chance of accidental release or mechanical failure. The fastening system will perform reliably when soiled, muddy, frozen, or wet. The safety set screw prevents accidental release of pressure. It isn’t required to gain hemorrhage control, but it is recommended when moving the patient in a tactical environment. Dual locking rings offer a backup locking system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy a tourniquet?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe modern battlefield and mass shootings \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-lasvegas-shooting-tourniquet\/tourniquets-once-out-of-favor-helped-save-lives-in-vegas-shootings-idUSKBN1CI16I\" target=\"blank\"\u003ehave shown\u003c\/a\u003e that the risk of having to amputate a limb because of a tourniquet is not really an issue, while blood loss is among the most common reasons of death. This has changed the approach to tourniquets and instead of the last option to treat limbic hemorrhage, they are now pretty much the first thing you do.

Be sure to carry suitable first-aid equipment with you, especially in high-risk environments and activities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe K9 Tourniquet has been engineered to work effectively on tapered anatomies, such as the leg of a K9, and is designed to be placed high on the limb. It has integrated traction technology that prevents the tourniquet from slipping down the animal’s leg, which would result in a loss of compression. The slippage is amplified when the animal is moved and extricated. Slippage is a common occurrence when tourniquets or pressure dressings designed for humans are used on such anatomies. The K9 Tourniquet addresses these issues and does so with quick application time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMade in USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNot for human use.\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe don't want to see a \"K9 Tourniquet Challenge\" on Tik Tok.
