The RATS Tourniquet (Rapid Application Tourniquet) is the fastest tourniquet on the market. The RATS is built with a solid vulcanized rubber core covered by a nylon sheath, combined with a unique locking mechanism that creates an incredibly fast tourniquet to apply to self or others. No other tourniquet compares to the RATS when being used under stress in terms of time or ease of use.
The Rapid Application Tourniquet (R.A.T.S ) was new to me. I have seen and used a bunch of tourniquets and seen problems with their application. Some tourniquets are well designed, but require some dexterity to use. This doesn’t work well under stress.
This video of an actual life saving intervention with a tourniquet shows how difficult application can be with blood spurting every where.
The RATS hallmark is use under stress.
People often ask, “What is the best tourniquet?” That depends on what you are doing. If what you are doing is shooting, getting shot at or at risk of trauma, the best tourniquet is the RATS Tourniquet. Small, flat and light, it fits in a pocket and is always available and quick to use. I wear one on my belt when I am teaching or running a range
