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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I mount the Rothco MOLLE TQ Pouch horizontally on my duty belt?

Yes! The Rothco MOLLE Tourniquet & Shear Holder Pouch features three rear snap closures that allow for both vertical and horizontal mounting on any MOLLE-compatible vest, pack, or belt. This versatile mounting system lets you position the pouch in the orientation that works best for your specific gear setup, whether you're outfitting a tactical vest, range bag, or duty belt. The snap closure system ensures secure attachment while maintaining quick-release capability when needed.

Will this pouch fit a CAT tourniquet and my trauma shears at the same time?

Absolutely. The Rothco MOLLE TQ Pouch is specifically designed for dual storage. The main compartment with side elastic straps accommodates various tourniquet sizes including CAT, SOFTT, and SWAT-T models, while the dedicated back pocket with security strap is perfectly sized for trauma shears. The strap feeds through the shear handles for added retention, ensuring both pieces of life-saving equipment stay secure during movement yet remain instantly accessible when seconds count.

How does the one-handed access work on this TQ pouch during high-stress situations?

The Rothco MOLLE TQ Pouch features an easy-grip pull tab on the hook and loop front cover that enables instant, one-handed deployment of your tourniquet. In emergency scenarios where you may need to maintain pressure on a wound or stabilize a patient with one hand, simply grab the pull tab and yank to expose your tourniquet immediately. The front loop field is clearly labeled with 'TQ' lettering, making it simple to locate even in low-light or high-stress conditions.

What makes the Rothco MOLLE TQ Pouch different from a standard utility pouch?

Unlike generic MOLLE pouches, the Rothco TQ Pouch (SKUs 2023, 2013, 2123, 2003, 2069, 2899) is purpose-built for medical response. It features specialized elastic side retention straps that secure tourniquets of varying diameters, a dedicated shear pocket with handle-retention strap, and a rapid-access pull tab system. The 'TQ' identification marking on the front loop field provides instant visual recognition, critical for first responders, law enforcement, and military personnel who need to differentiate medical gear from ammunition or utility pouches in split-second situations.

Is the Rothco MOLLE TQ Pouch durable enough for daily patrol use by law enforcement?

Yes. Constructed from rugged 600D Polyester with durable polypropylene webbing and elasticized polyester retention straps, this pouch is built to withstand the rigors of daily field use. The materials resist abrasion, moisture, and UV degradation, making it suitable for law enforcement patrol officers, military personnel, fire and rescue teams, and first responders who need reliable gear that performs in harsh conditions. Available in tactical colors including Black, Olive Drab, Coyote Brown, MultiCam, Red, and Grey to match your existing kit.
