SOFTT-W Tourniquet Gen 4

Gen 4 NOW available in Black, Blue, Rescue Orange, Tan & Red.

The SOFTT-W Tourniquet is a life-saving device used to control massive extremity haemorrhage. With a true 1.5 inch tourniquet strap the SOFTT-W provides superior compression than most standard tourniquets. High strength, light weight aluminium components are used in critical areas of function ensuring reliability in the most challenging of circumstances and on the largest of limbs.

The SOFTT-W does not rely on any velcro. The high strength hook & buckle interface was designed for security, strength and ease of application.

The design allows for rapid routing of the tourniquet strap while eliminating the need for re-threading the webbing through a buckle. By eliminating the requirement to re-route the webbing the tourniquet is easier to use when operating under stress and reduces application time, both of which can result in reduced levels of blood loss and better quality patient care.

This broader compression pattern allows for increased patient comfort and additional arterial compression.

Used by numerous Australian Police Forces and Ambulance Services.

Features of Gen 4 include:

• A new thinner, longer high-strength aluminium windless bar
• A new retention clip for easy single-handed self-application.
• True 1.5" wide compression strap
• Quick release buckle for rapid routing of the tourniquet strap while eliminating the need for re-threading the webbing through a buckle

TacMed Australia is now stocking the COMBAT APPLICATION TOURNIQUET (C.A.T)- G7. It has all the great features of the Gen 6 C.A.T but has added features including the NEW Single Routing Buckle for faster application, decreased blood loss, effective slack removal, fewer windlass turns, and simplified training with single protocol application standards

COMBAT APPLICATION TOURNIQUET (CAT) G7

The CAT (Combat Application Tourniquet) is a small and lightweight arterial tourniquet that completely occludes blood flow in an extremity. Used for the treatment of life-threatening bleeding, the C.A.T Tourniquet uses a Self-Adhering Band and a Friction Adaptor Buckle to fit a wide range of extremities combined with a one-handed windlass system. The windlass uses a free moving internal band to provide true circumferential pressure to an extremity. The windlass is then locked in place; this requires only one hand, with the Windlass Clip. The C.A.T Tourniquet also has a Hook-and-Loop Windlass Strap for further securing of the windlass during patient transport.

QuikClot Combat Gauze

QuikClot is the essential choice for haemorrhage control in a broad range of bleeding situations.

QuikClot products are impregnated with kaolin, a naturally occurring, inorganic mineral (clay derivative). Kaolin has no known allergic or exothermic reactions.

The BLAST Bandage is designed to provide the ability to quickly package traumatic amputations, burns, and large pattern wounds with minimal use of supplies and minimal effort. The BLAST Bandage provides a 50 cm x 50cm treatment area, which is packaged the size of a 4 combat bandage.

The large non-adherent wound pad can be easily wrapped around limbs and secured with the attached elastic wrap. It provides a large sterile protective covering for shrapnel wounds or burns. With such a large coverage area, the Blast Bandage is large enough to cover the entire back or chest of most casualties.

The BLAST Bandage also offers a removable occlusive layer that will cover a 48 cm x 48 cm area or can be used to cover abdominal contents to minimise the loss of heat and moisture.

The bandage features "brakes" which help prevent accidental unrolling of the elastic wrap during high stress application, which are especially helpful during the dressing of amputations. By providing multiple points of adhesion, the brakes prevent slippage of the elastic during the wrapping process- creating a more secure, effective bandage and decreasing the chance of wounds being exposed during movement.
