Sam Medical Torniquete Sam XT Preto

The SOF® Tourniquet Generation 4 (SOF®TT-W) is a true generational upgrade to the most effective windlass tourniquet on the market featuring 4 key upgrades:

1. TRAC – Tourniquet Retention Assistance Clip

• • The TRAC assists in applications by providing a temporary control point to hold the windlass while engaging the tri-ring, resulting in faster application times and doubling the security of the device in combination with the tri-ring during patient movements. This is especially helpful in one-handed applications and for those who do not have much experience applying tourniquets. The TRAC is an optional accessory for application, and the windlass must still be secured in the tri-ring for proper use.

     2. 5.5″ Windlass 

• • The increase in length eases the process of securing the windlass into the clip and tri-ring, increasing the effectiveness of the dual retention system. It still maintains its distinct conical ends while being machined from a single piece of aircraft-grade aluminum bar stock and anodized to minimize the product’s signature in a tactical environment.

3. Quick-Compression Buckle

• • The Quick-Compression Buckle, added to the tourniquet last year, allows for smoother buckle manipulation due to its rounded edges. This also allows for easier one-handed application and overall faster application time.

4. Reinforced Material

• • Yes, we found a way to make the strongest tourniquet even stronger.

The SOF® Tourniquet Gen 4 is built upon its original ruggedness and durability, which was the result of an exhaustive 24-month research initiative compiling end-user research and laboratory studies. The tourniquet is comprised of high-strength, lightweight alloy components. Its design allows the tourniquet to slide over a limb or, if the limb is trapped, the tourniquet can be rapidly disconnected and reconnected around the limb without rethreading the strap. With one application method for both the arm and the leg, the Gen 4 is the easiest tourniquet to operate under stress, which can lead to reduced levels of blood loss and ultimately better quality patient care.

The Gen 4 still maintains its true 1.5″ tourniquet strap, providing a wider compression pattern than most standard tourniquets or tourniquets with a 1″ constricting band moving through a 1.5″ sleeve. The wider compression pattern results in additional arterial compression and increased patient comfort.

Additionally, each tourniquet is shipped with two UV-resistant black rubber bands for mounting to your individual equipment.

The SOF® Tourniquet Gen 4 is approved for use by the Department of Defense, approved for use by the Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care, and the tourniquet of choice for the American Red Cross. It is used by everyone from elite military operators around the world to the largest police departments in the country to fire and EMS paramedics on the streets to civilians in everyday public places just trying to be prepared.

These customers chose the SOF® Tourniquet because it was the best option on the market. And now, the best tactical tourniquet just got better.

CAT tourniquet was invented by CAT Resources, owned by Composite Resources. It was tested along with eight other tourniquets in 2004 at the U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research in San Antonio, Texas. The evaluation was prompted because many deploying Soldiers and units were purchasing tourniquets off the Internet, but the tourniquets’ effectiveness had not been determined. Once testing was complete, the institute’s researchers recommended the Combat Application Tourniquet be pushed to deployed troops to stop otherwise lethal blood loss.

Noted as the best prehospital tourniquet in the February 2008 supplement of The Journal of Trauma

The patented C-A-T® is a true one-handed tourniquet proven to be 100% effective by the U.S. Army’s Institute of Surgical Research. Tests proved that the C-A-T® completely occluded blood flow of an extremity in the event of a traumatic wound with significant hemorrhage.

The C-A-T® utilizes a durable windlass system with a patented free-moving internal band providing true circumferential pressure to the extremity. Once adequately tightened, bleeding will cease and the windlass is locked into place. A hook and loop windlass retention strap is then applied, securing the windlass to maintain pressure during casualty evacuation. The C-A-T®’s unique dual securing system avoids the use of screws and clips which can become difficult to operate under survival stress or where fine motor skills are compromised.

The patented Combat Application Tourniquet® (C-A-T®) featuring the mechanical advantage of a band within a band has been the Official Tourniquet of the U.S. Army since 2005. The innovations in the C-A-T® are protected by U.S. Patent Nos. 7,842,067 and 7,892,253.

The CAT Tourniquet gen 7 is also available in the following colors:
Blue for Training.
Orange for Emergencies.

UNIVERSAL FLEXIBILITY

Touting unrivaled flexibility, SAM® Splint bends into any simple curve, becoming exponentially stronger and more supportive. SAM® Splint is globally acclaimed by emergency care providers, outdoor enthusiasts, the U.S. military, and even NASA.

STRENGTH IN CURVES

SAM® Splint leverages the revolutionary C-Curve™ Principle to mold its foam and aluminum layers into structural arcs, strong enough for pre- or post-cast care, while remaining lighter and more transportable than traditional splints that rely on heavy, rigid materials. Bend it back into its original form to stow away or remold for a separate injury.

ENGINEERED FOR VERSATILE SUPPORT

SAM® Splint is lightweight, flexible, and requires only wrap or tape to provide the necessary strength to support any fractured or injured limb.

MOLDABLE ALUMINUM

Flat O-temper aluminium inside the splint’s outer layers bends easily, allowing for a spectrum of applications.

CLEANABLE EXTERIOR

Exterior closed-pore foam can be cleaned and disinfected with bleach and water for reuse.

WEATHER RESISTANT

Designed to function across the spectrum of global temperatures, from the Sahara to Mt. Everest.

LIGHTWEIGHT DESIGN

Substantially lighter than plaster or fiberglass splints, SAM® Splint requires only a wrap or tape to secure an injured bone or stabilize a joint.

NON-STERILE OLAES® TRAINING BANDAGE. This is a non-sterile version of the OLAES® Modular Bandage for training use only.
