Tourniquets

A tourniquet stops severe bleeding from an arm or leg by constricting the entire limb above the injury. It should be carried where it can be reached with one hand.

Proven tourniquets for operational use and for training: CAT Combat Application Tourniquet Gen 7, SAM XT Extremity Tourniquet, SOF Tactical Tourniquet Wide and SWAT-T. You will also find pelvic binders and pouches that keep the tourniquet in place.

The models in the range

CAT Gen 7 from North American Rescue is the most widely used windlass tourniquet in both military and civilian trauma care, and we stock it in black and in orange for those who want to be able to find it quickly. SAM XT has a tensioning mechanism that locks the strap before the windlass is used. SOFTT-W has a wide strap and a metal windlass. SWAT-T from H&H Medical is a wide elastic band without a windlass — it also works as a pressure bandage and suits narrower limbs where a windlass tourniquet is too large.

In addition to the limb tourniquets, there is T-RING Flex for fingers and thumbs, as well as the pelvic binders SAM Pelvic Sling II and T-POD Responder, which stabilise the pelvis in a suspected pelvic fracture. They belong in the same category because they solve the same problem: applying compression where the bleeding cannot be reached from outside.

Carry it, don't just own it

A tourniquet at the bottom of a rucksack helps no one. Pouches from Tactical Tailor and High Speed Gear keep the tourniquet folded, protected and accessible on the belt or vest — see more carrying options in pouches and attachments and in belts. Choose the side and position according to which hand is free, and keep the position the same across the whole team, so that anyone can find the kit on anyone.

Train with the trainer version. The blue CAT tourniquet is made to be applied again and again without wearing out the real one.

The next step in the chain

The tourniquet covers arms and legs. If the injury is closer to the torso, you need wound packing and pressure bandages instead, and for a penetrating chest injury chest seals. The full range is gathered under trauma and bleeding control.

Frequently asked questions about tourniquets

Which tourniquet should I choose?

CAT Gen 7 is the standard choice and the model most people have trained on — if you are choosing a tourniquet for a team, familiarity is an argument in itself. SAM XT suits those who want a pre-tensioned strap before turning the windlass. SWAT-T is the most versatile but requires more technique and is also used as a pressure bandage.

Does a tourniquet work on children?

Windlass tourniquets are sized for adult limbs and can be too wide on small arms and legs. SWAT-T, being an elastic band, is the model in the range that covers a wider span of sizes. Which solution is right in the individual case is a matter for training, not for product choice.

Why are tourniquets sold in orange?

Orange makes the tourniquet easy to find in a bag, in the dark or in snow, and makes it clear to the next care provider that it is on the patient. Black is more common in tactical settings where equipment should not be seen. The function is the same.

What is a blue tourniquet?

Blue means trainer version. It looks and feels like the real product but is intended to be used again and again in training. The colour is there so that training equipment can never end up in an operational kit by mistake.
