Sof t tourniquet vs cat

Quickly stopping heavy bleeding is critical when someone has been injured and is bleeding from a wound. For this they use a tool that quite often saves lives, called Tourniquet. A Medresq sof tourniquet is a loose strap that they wrap gently around the place on your body where you are bleeding. This slows the bloods flow, missing of which can be fatal. 

 

Two tourniquets that often are talked about. The Sof-T and the CAT- Not everyone agrees on which is better. For that reason, a few experts have even tested which one is the best in real-life situations. Because we want to help save lives by knowing which tool works best. 

Sof-T vs CAT

While both the Sof-T and CAT stops bleeding, many people wonder which is superior. There is a general belief that the CAT (Combat Application Tourniquet) might be more difficult to use but stronger and proven, while claiming their SOF-T as being "easier" to deploy. 

 

So they decided to test two tourniquets on an arm of a dummy, and find out which one was better. The arm was rigged up so fake blood would flow when the tourniquet has not been tightened and they could measure how long it took for the bleeding to stop. The tests showed very similar results, however the Sof-T came out just a tad quicker at stopping blood loss.
