TQs are only half the battle.
One of the biggest challenges we see in law enforcement is balancing medical capability with limited space on a duty belt or vest.
A tourniquet is essential, but traumatic injuries are not limited to extremity hemorrhage. Junctional wounds to the groin, armpit, and neck cannot be treated with a TQ alone, and chest wounds require different gear.
That means officers still need room for gauze, pressure dressings, chest seals, and the other components needed to manage those injuries.
The challenge is carrying those capabilities without adding unnecessary bulk or interfering with the rest of your equipment.
