The Lightning X LXTQT-H Rigid Tourniquet Holder is a must-gave for first responders and public safety personnel. Our injection molded TQ case is designed to keep your combat tourniquet within reach for rapid deployment in an emergency situation. Customizable mounting positions allow this holder to be attached vertically, horizontally, at right or left angle, inverted, plus it’s height adjustable – depending on your application or personal preference. Because the holder is molded to the exact shape of a Gen 7 C-A-T, it holds the tourniquet perfectly in place without the need for straps, flaps or buckles that get in the way when you need to act quickly in a medical emergency. Not only will our holster mount to a duty belt, but the rear straps are specifically designed to attach to any MOLLE compatible backpack, vest, tactical bag, plate carrier or duty rig. As far as duty belts are concerned, the LXTQT-H will accommodate duty belts up to 3″ wide (most holsters only go up to 2″ or 2.25″). Includes a limited lifetime warranty from Lightning X Products.

The patented C-A-T is a true one-handed tourniquet proven to be 100% effective by the U.S. Army’s Institute of Surgical Research. Tests proved that the C-A-T completely occluded blood flow of an extremity in the event of a traumatic wound with significant hemorrhage.

The C-A-T utilizes a durable windlass system with a patented free-moving internal band providing true circumferential pressure to the extremity. Once adequately tightened, bleeding will cease and the windlass is locked into place. A hook and loop windlass retention strap is then applied, securing the windlass to maintain pressure during casualty evacuation. The C-A-T’s unique dual securing system avoids the use of screws and clips which can become difficult to operate under survival stress or where fine motor skills are compromised.

The Combat Application Tourniquet®, introduced to U.S. Army in 2005 is a true one-handed tourniquet, widely credited with decreasing mortality rates due to extremity exsanguination by 85%. After an exhaustive study, the U.S. Army Institute of Research deemed it to be 100% effective.

Following extensive field reviews, the CAT GEN7 has been completely re-designed, making it the most effective Combat Application Tourniquet to date. The new CAT GEN7 is simpler to use thanks to a single application protocol, single buckle routing system and further improvements to its components and construction.
