The TACMED 80-0125 Soft Tourniquet Kit provides critical hemorrhage control capabilities for emergency medical situations. This professional-grade trauma kit delivers reliable arterial occlusion through its soft tourniquet design, offering an alternative to traditional windlass-style devices. Medical professionals and tactical teams rely on this kit for effective bleeding control in field conditions.
What Makes This Different
Unlike rigid windlass tourniquets that can cause tissue damage during extended application, the TACMED soft tourniquet utilizes controlled compression technology. The system applies circumferential pressure without the mechanical stress points found in traditional designs. This approach reduces the risk of nerve damage and tissue necrosis during prolonged use, making it suitable for extended medical transport scenarios.
Key Features
- Soft compression design minimizes tissue trauma during application
- Quick-release mechanism enables rapid deployment in emergency situations
- Adjustable pressure control accommodates different limb sizes
- Durable nylon construction withstands repeated sterilization cycles
- Compact profile fits standard medical kit configurations
- Clear application instructions printed on device for field reference
- Single-handed operation capability for self-application scenarios
Field medics appreciate the reduced application time compared to traditional tourniquets, with effective arterial occlusion achieved in under 30 seconds. The soft design maintains patient comfort during transport while providing consistent pressure control. Law enforcement and military units integrate this system into their medical protocols for both training and operational deployment. The kit performs reliably in temperature extremes from -20°F to 140°F.
