Tourniquets and quick clot 2019

[Jackdog]

That TQ came up in this weekend's Tac Med EDC class from Lone Star Medics. Myself and @Jackdog were in the class.

If I recall correctly, Caleb Causey (owner/instructor) said there had been issues with the ratchet device on them. The only two he recommended were the SOFTT-W and CAT.

I'll confirm that with Caleb, and Jackdog can confirm if I remember correctly.

Excellent class, by the way. I highly recommend Lone Star Medics and Dark Angel Medical if you have an opportunity to train with either of them.

@SeriousStudent is correct. The issue with the ratchet is one of over tightening it and
Causing tissue damage.

Cool, I thought that was it, but I was busy scribbling notes on something else.

Definitely a good class!

If you're buying the SAM TQs, make sure you get one of the post-recall ones.

And unless you're an operator operating operationally, don't buy black.

Taylor Swift Carries Army-Grade Supplies at All Times Because She’s Afraid of Getting Attacked

She’s not nervous about it just on tour though. Her fear of violence has touched her personal life as well. “I carry QuikClot army-grade bandage dressing, which is for gunshot or stab wounds,” she said.

Just a heads up; Tac Med Solutions is shipping the Gen 4 SOFTTW but only in black and orange.

^^^ They allow me to put the other colors in my cart. No out of stock notices on the product or checkout pages.... Did not try to check out. FWIW.

Getting ready to order some STB kits... Thanks for the heads up on the Gen 4's

You’re welcome. Do note anything ordered besides black or orange will be the older Gen 3 TQs until stock is depleted. Would have liked to pick up a Gen 4 in blue but I ordered two orange ones and will just label one a trainer.

Of course she does, this is the girl who sings “bandaids don’t fix bullet holes”......

Uhhh, you guys ever see Taylor Swift and the clothes she wears?

Ain't no quickclot hidden there.....

I'm sure her detail carries it, though.
