Immediate Access for Life-Saving Interventions - The Rothco MOLLE Tactical Tourniquet & Shear Holder Pouch consolidates two critical pieces of trauma gear into a single, compact footprint. Designed for high-stress medical response, this pouch eliminates the need for digging through medical kits by keeping your tourniquet and trauma shears instantly accessible on the exterior of your rig. The system utilizes a specialized "hidden" rear pocket to secure shears behind the main tourniquet compartment, maximizing space efficiency on crowded battle belts or plate carriers.
Key Features
- Universal Tourniquet Fit: Main compartment features elastic side panels and an adjustable hook-and-loop flap to securely hold standard CAT, SOFTT, or SWAT-T tourniquets.
- Dedicated Shear Storage: A discrete rear pocket slides trauma shears behind the tourniquet, secured by a horizontal strap that feeds through the handle to prevent loss during movement.
- Rapid Deployment Pull-Tab: The main cover is equipped with an easy-grip pull tab, allowing for one-handed ripping and immediate deployment of the tourniquet when seconds count.
- Versatile Mounting System: Features three rear snap straps that allow the pouch to be mounted either vertically or horizontally on MOLLE webbing or duty belts.
- Instant Identification: The front loop field features prominent "TQ" lettering, ensuring other responders can instantly locate your life-saving equipment.
- Rugged Construction: Built from 600 Denier Polyester and polypropylene webbing to withstand field abrasion and harsh weather.
Why It Matters
In a massive hemorrhage scenario, you have less than three minutes to apply a tourniquet. Storing it inside a zippered medic pouch costs valuable seconds. This external carrier ensures your TQ is ready for immediate self-aid or buddy-aid, while securely retaining your shears for cutting away clothing to expose wounds.
How to Use / What Problem It Solves
Mount securely to the front of your vest or the small of your back on a battle belt. It solves the problem of "loose gear" by locking both shears and tourniquet into a single unit that doesn't rattle or flop, providing a streamlined solution for First Responders and Active Shooter response kits.
