Universal Tourniquet Holder

Key Specifications

Product Overview

The Elite First Aid Universal Tourniquet Holder is a straightforward, no-frills tourniquet 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, SOFTT-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 prevents 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 carrier options in the MED-TAC catalog — appropriate for situations where minimizing weight and bulk are priorities. The MOLLE/PALS mounting 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 replaced with any standard blood type, medical alert, or unit identifier patch using the same loop fastener panel.

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