Retention inside is \u003cstrong\u003eVelcro One-Wrap and shock cord\u003c\/strong\u003e, which means you set it up for your protocol rather than the manufacturer's.

A soft pouch loaded with heavy contents sags, shifts on the mount, and closes on itself when you open it.

This gives you gauze and a pressure dressing in the same reach, which is what you need when the tourniquet is not the right answer — a junctional wound, a torso wound, or a bleed you can pack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails style=\"border:1px solid #e8e4da;border-radius:3px;margin:0 0 10px;background:#fff;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"cursor:pointer;padding:12px 14px;font-weight:700;list-style:none;\"\u003eFAQ\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding:0 14px 14px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:12px 0 6px;font-weight:700;\"\u003eQ: Does it come with medical supplies?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 10px;\"\u003eA: No. This is an empty pouch.

Its laser-cut wings are built to accept these pouches, which is why they appear together in photography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:12px 0 6px;font-weight:700;\"\u003eQ: What is Tegris and why does it matter here?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 10px;\"\u003eA: A thermoplastic composite that is stiff and light. In this pouch it is the internal panel that keeps the shape stable when loaded and keeps the clamshell open when you open it. Without it, a loaded pouch collapses on your hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:12px 0 6px;font-weight:700;\"\u003eQ: Will it hold a windlass tourniquet?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 10px;\"\u003eA: Yes, and that is a primary design case. Because retention is One-Wrap and shock cord rather than fixed elastic, you can also fit ratcheting and pneumatic devices that will not go into a sewn loop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:12px 0 6px;font-weight:700;\"\u003eQ: Can it mount to a plate carrier cummerbund?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 10px;\"\u003eA: The rear is laser-cut MOLLE, so it mounts anywhere PALS webbing or MOLLE-compatible attachment exists — belts, carriers, packs, and the fanny pack wings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:12px 0 6px;font-weight:700;\"\u003eQ: Is it waterproof?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 10px;\"\u003eA: Water resistant, not waterproof. It sheds rain and splash. It is not a submersion barrier, and gauze packaging should still be inspected after wet exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:12px 0 6px;font-weight:700;\"\u003eQ: Which colorway should I pick?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 10px;\"\u003eA: Black reads as duty gear and matches most law enforcement kit.
