Frequently Asked Questions
What advantage does the wide band provide?
The wider compression band distributes pressure across a greater area of the limb. This achieves arterial occlusion with less localised pressure, reducing the risk of soft tissue damage and nerve injury compared to narrower tourniquet designs. The wider band is also more comfortable for the casualty during the period between application and hospital treatment.
Can this tourniquet be self-applied?
Yes. The SOFTT-W is designed for both buddy-application and self-application on an injured limb. Self-application technique should be practised during training, as applying a tourniquet to your own limb under stress requires specific muscle memory and procedural confidence.
