It \u003cspan\u003ehas a true 1 ½” tourniquet strap providing 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 tactical environment.\u003c\/span\u003e Upgrades allow for smoother and faster one-handed and two-handed applications for the most effective bleeding control as well as a \"pressure indicator wedge\" stitched into the webbing to ensure a solid \"first pull\" to remove all the slack and facilitate a successful application.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIts innovative design comes from years of extensive research, material testing, and end-user feedback on and off the battlefield. It continues to evolve with your changing medical response needs when bleeding control is needed most. The SOF® Tourniquet easily slides over an arm or leg. It unclips at the buckle to fit around hard-to-reach areas, such as a trapped limb.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e***BLUE SOF-T CAN BE FOUND IN THE \"TRAINING TOURNIQUET\" SECTION OF THE STORE***\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eWeight: 4.0 oz\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eDimensions: 4.5”Lx 2.0”W x 2.0”D\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dark Angel Medical","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":55959014309961,"sku":"01-sof-t-gen5-BL","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red","offer_id":67600837738569,"sku":"01-sof-t-gen5-RE","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tan","offer_id":67600837771337,"sku":"01-sof-t-gen5-TA","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Orange","offer_id":67600837804105,"sku":"01-sof-t-gen5-OR","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/8581\/1785\/files\/SOFTOURNIQUET-BLACK__98076.1695965733.png?v=1787715768","url":"https:\/\/darkangelmedical.com\/products\/sof-tourniquet-gen-5","provider":"Dark Angel Medical","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
