TOURNIQUETs
Having personally witnessed the tourniquet’s indisputable power to save lives, Blair Dell has partnered with Hero’s Pride to develop our NEW Universal Tourniquet Holder. This holder attaches securely to a duty belt, putting a tourniquet within arm’s reach at all times.*
NAR CAT Gen 7 Tourniquet
PROS
Simple, intuitive use that requires minimal training. Most widely sold TQ in the world.
CONS
Because of its popularity it has A LOT of copycats online that are NOT safe in extreme climates or for long wear on kit. The adhesives can fail on the retaining strap.
SAM XT Tourniquet
PROS
Most intuitive TQ available. “Click” Indicator ensures adequate slack has been removed. Robust design and components require minimal training.
CONS
Larger design. Requires tail to be pulled down and away to remove slack and properly activate click securing device.
TMT from CMS
PROS
Widest TQ of those listed. Small packaging and lightweight tapered windlass enable easier securing.
CONS
Drastically different design from the rest. Requires a moderate amount of initial training. Least amount of human use data.
SOF-T from TMS
PROS
The most circumferential pressure of any TQ on the market. Best for leg amputations and arterial bleeds. Extensive product data as it was the 1st commercially available TQ.
CONS
Least intuitive TQ listed here. Requires consistent training to maintain proficiency. Many different versions in rotation.
Previously, law enforcement were unable to carry tourniquets because they didn’t have a dedicated pouch on their duty belt. Hero’s Pride saw this gap as well. So we worked together to solve this and are saving a lot more lives because of [tourniquet cases].
Pro Tips for Tourniquet Selection & Use
- It is always recommended that tourniquets worn on duty gear be fully enclosed in a tourniquet holder. Failure to do so will result in uneven wear, tear, and exposure—drastically increasing the likelihood of failure.
- Be sure to purchase extra tourniquets to dedicate as "trainers" for quarterly exposure and procedural training.
- The windlass tourniquets highlighted above are not suitable for junctional wounds or small children. It is highly advised to also carry a SWAT-T and a hemostatic dressing such as Quick Clot/Combat Gauze for these situations.
