Universal Tourniquet Holder

Key Specifications

What It Is

The Universal Tourniquet Holder is a straightforward, no-frills carrier engineered for maximum compatibility at minimum weight and cost. Its open-top design accepts all major windlass tourniquets — including the CAT Gen 7, SAM XT, SOF-T Wide, and TMT — without dimensional restrictions or tourniquet-specific cutouts. The elastic hook-and-loop retention strap stretches to fit around any standard packaged tourniquet and closes securely, while the snag-resistant nylon top strap keeps the tourniquet from catching on gear, vegetation, or vehicle interiors during movement.

At 2" × 6.5" × 1" and 4 oz, the Universal Holder is one of the most compact tourniquet carriers in the MED-TAC catalog — appropriate where minimizing weight and bulk are priorities. The MOLLE/PALS pattern on the back panel attaches to any compatible vest, chest rig, plate carrier, or MOLLE-equipped pack without additional hardware. The included 1" × 2" loop-backed "TQ" patch provides immediate visual identification of the tourniquet position and can be swapped for any standard blood-type, medical-alert, or unit-identifier patch on the same loop panel.

The Red color option is notable: red tourniquet holders are used by many law enforcement agencies and EMS systems as a visual standard for rapid tourniquet location during mass-casualty events — letting bystanders and arriving responders instantly identify where the tourniquet is staged without scanning the entire vest or kit. Black, Coyote Tan, and Olive Drab align with standard tactical color families for visual integration into existing loadouts.

Ideal Use Cases

• Budget-conscious teams: cost-effective carrier for equipping large groups — patrol units, range safety officers, civilian training programs.
• Secondary/redundant position: add a second tourniquet carry point to an existing kit without significant weight penalty.
• Vehicle & facility staging: mount on vehicle headrests, MOLLE panels, or wall-mounted MOLLE boards in schools, offices, and public buildings.
• IFAK supplementation: attach externally to a pack or vest as an immediately accessible supplement to a tourniquet stored inside an IFAK bag.
• Red-coded bleeding-control stations: pair with a Red holder for bleeding-control station standardization in public facilities.
