Benefits:
Durability: The SOF Tactical Tourniquet 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 temperatures.
Reliable: No hook-and-loop is used to maintain tension. This greatly reduces the chance of accidental release of the tourniquet during patient movement. The buckle will also perform when wet, dirty, muddy or sandy, unlike hook-and-loop fasteners. Safety set screw prevents the accidental release of pressure during tactical patient movement. Dual locking rings provide a backup in the event of a broken ring.
Low maintenance: Safety screws and buckles are factories coated with a rust preventative/lubricant.
Repairable: The SOF can be easily repaired if it is damaged. Nothing is indestructible and being able to repair equipment in the field is a necessity for soldiers.
