- description
A tourniquet in a zipped pouch at the back of a rig is a tourniquet you will not get to. This holder keeps a CAT-7 exposed and gripped by elastic, so it comes out in one pull with either hand. It takes one row of MOLLE, which means it can go somewhere genuinely accessible rather than wherever there was space left.
The same dimensions suit an emergency care bandage, so if you carry an FFD rather than a tourniquet it fits the same holder. Construction is mil-spec webbing and elastic — the elastic does the retaining, the webbing does the mounting.
It runs vertically or horizontally depending on where you mount it. On a cummerbund horizontal usually wins; on a shoulder strap or the front of a placard vertical is faster.

Frequently asked questions
Does a tourniquet come with it? No. The holder is supplied on its own — buy the CAT-7 separately and check it is a genuine one.
Will a CAT-6 fit? It is cut around the CAT-7. A 6 is close but not identical, so check the width of the windlass housing before assuming.
Where should I mount it? Somewhere you can reach with either hand, because you may be using it on yourself with one arm out of action. Front of the belt or the support-side cummerbund are the usual answers.
