Quote HistoryQuoted: Hey thank you for that. I will look for that now. I want to get my uncle some since he is on blood thinners. Just a paper cut he bleeds a lot and takes forever for him to stop bleeding. So I’ll get myself some and him too for his small kit (not a gun guy). If you still want to find Quik-Clot, DSG is a good source. |

Seems to be understood, but whatever you do, buy these items from a reputable dealer. In the case of North American Rescue, items can often be had cheaper directly from them with an approved account.

Quote HistoryQuoted: No love for the SWAT? I carry a SWAT tourniquet in either a cargo pocket or the back pocket of my pants. When I took Stop the Bleed training, we trained on both SWAT and CAT tourniquets. |

SOF-T wide is my favorite, I’ve used them a few times and they work well. I have a gnarly pic of one that shut off an arm but can’t post it yet. I like them for me also as I can unbuckle them to get them around a thigh rather than have to go over a boot.
I have CAT’s also from work and they are good also but I’ve never used one on a real deal. |

Better than nothing but lots better than it. They actually work great for children, and dogs since their blood vessels are in weird spots for compression. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: CAT. Everyone knows how to use it. That's important in an emergency. The RSO at my range stocked a kit with RATS. I ridiculed him mildly and pointed out that I couldn't figure how to use it, so I'd just wrap it tight and improvise a windlass. He told me how utterly simple it it, and how easy it is to self apply, then spent 10 minutes trying to figure out how to stage it and apply it. I showed him my stopwatch and pointed out that he would've been dead for 7 minutes. Commonality of gear and training is important. This^^^^^ |

Don't quote me on this, but I took a course from a SF medic who is now a Dr, and he unequivocally recommended the CatT 7 due to field results.
The most important part of a TQ is it's ability to stop blood flow to an appendage consistently. The cat just works better in that regard with numbers behind it to support that. Now, some of it can be due to the military using it on the battlefield, but it works more often, and better than anything else out there. They all have their drawbacks. Use what you want, and try your best. |
