Features:
Carabiner windlass lock: Windlasses that are bumped and unwind in transport have proven deadly. The patent pending locking carabiner gate holds the windlass securely in place.
Textured Windlass: If you’re using a TQ, there will be slippery blood . . . a lot of it. The textured windlass helps you get a grip in a life and death situation.
Chemlight: The included chemlight breaks upon application so first responders can see where TQ is applied at night.
Water repellent: Unlike other TQ’s, the ETQ™ absorbs a minimal amount of water or sweat.
Specs:
Folded Size: Comparable to a G19 magazine. It fits in handgun mag pouches and kydex carriers.
Note on TQ width: The ETQ™ measures 37.5” long by 1” wide. Many people believe the gold standard TQ is wider than it actually is. However, If you closely examine one you’ll see that it’s only a 1” piece of webbing doing the constricting. Try it for yourself. Constrict your TQ across a foam roller and leave it for 30 minutes. Come back and measure the imprints. You’ll notice the width only measures 1”. A 1” functional width gets the job done and has been trusted for years.
If you’d still prefer a wider tourniquet, you can purchase ETQ WIDE™
ETQ WIDE™
The ETQ Wide™ 1.5” version is designed to meet criteria set forth by the Committee of Tactical Combat Casualty Care (CoTCCC). We look forward to submitting samples to CoTCCC and continue gathering real world data for when they conduct their next round of TQ evaluations.
