When bleeding won’t stop, you don’t get a second chance. At Medical Gear Outfitters, we stock only proven tourniquets that Skinny Medic trusts on the street, on the range, and off duty. Whether you’re EMS, law enforcement, military, or a responsible civilian, these are the tourniquets that actually work when it matters.

Our Most Trusted Tourniquets

Below are the top tourniquets we recommend based on real-world use, training experience, and industry testing.

  • CAT Gen 7 Tourniquet – The gold standard for many EMS agencies and law enforcement.

  • SOF® Tactical Tourniquet – Rugged, low-profile option favored by tactical teams.

  • Tactical Mechanical Tourniquets & training TQs – Great for building muscle memory without tearing up your primary.

Not all tourniquets are created equal. When you’re choosing a TQ, focus on:

  • Proven track record (used by EMS, military, or law enforcement)

  • One-handed application under stress

  • Quality windlass and buckle that won’t fail

  • Genuine products – no cheap knockoffs from online marketplaces

Where to Carry Your Tourniquet

Short paragraph:
A tourniquet only helps if you can get to it. Common carry options:

  • On your duty belt or vest

  • On the shoulder strap of a backpack

  • On the outside of your range or IFAK pouch

  • In your vehicle trauma kit
