Mojo® Pocket Bleeder Kit - BASIC

What is included in the Mojo® Pocket Bleeder Kit – BASIC?

The BASIC configuration contains a single SWAT-T™ (Stretch-Wrap-And-Tuck Tourniquet) flat-packed in a compact vacuum-sealed nylon pouch measuring approximately 5" H × 3" W × 1" D. The SWAT-T is a 56-inch polyisoprene elastic band with application instructions printed directly on the device. The entire package weighs 6.9 oz and is designed to fit in a cargo pocket, glove box, wallet pocket, or IFAK alongside other gear.

Is the SWAT-T tourniquet in the Mojo BASIC CoTCCC recommended?

The SWAT-T is not listed as a primary CoTCCC-recommended windlass tourniquet for extremity hemorrhage control in the same category as the CAT Gen 7 or SOFT-T Wide. However, CoTCCC does reference elastic tourniquets in the context of junctional and pediatric/small-limb applications where windlass devices are not suitable. The SWAT-T's flexible, conforming design is particularly valuable for small or irregularly shaped limbs (children, canine) and for use in junctional areas. For adult extremity hemorrhage where a windlass tourniquet can be applied, CoTCCC guidance prioritizes windlass-type devices.

How is the SWAT-T different from a standard windlass tourniquet like the CAT Gen 7?

A windlass tourniquet (CAT Gen 7, SOFT-T Wide) uses a mechanical rod twisted under a retention strap to create consistent occlusive pressure via a rigid mechanism. The SWAT-T uses elastic tension — stretch and wrap — to create pressure through the material's resistance. The SWAT-T is thinner, lighter, and more versatile (usable as a pressure bandage, splint wrap, or canine tourniquet), but requires more wraps and consistent stretch technique to achieve full arterial occlusion. Both serve hemorrhage control; the right choice depends on application, environment, and training.

What is the difference between the BASIC, INTERMEDIATE, and ADVANCED Mojo kit configurations?

The BASIC contains only the SWAT-T tourniquet in a vacuum-sealed pouch. The INTERMEDIATE adds Celox™ Rapid hemostatic gauze, exam gloves, and a MARCH™ Quick Reference Card Set for more complete hemorrhage control capability. The ADVANCED includes a tactical mechanical tourniquet (mechanical windlass type), Celox™ Rapid gauze, Battle Wrap, exam gloves, and the MARCH™ Quick Reference Card — the most comprehensive configuration. Choose BASIC for minimal carry weight; choose INTERMEDIATE or ADVANCED for expanded trauma response capability.

Can the Mojo BASIC be used by someone without formal medical training?

Yes — application instructions are printed directly on the SWAT-T itself, and the STRETCH-WRAP-TUCK method is simpler to execute than mechanical windlass application. The visual confirmation indicators (ovals becoming circles = pressure; diamonds becoming squares = tourniquet pressure) make it intuitive even under stress. Stop the Bleed training or equivalent hemorrhage control courses are strongly recommended for anyone carrying this kit. Basic training significantly improves application speed and confidence in an actual emergency.

What makes the SWAT-T™ different from a windlass tourniquet for EDC?

The SWAT-T™ uses elastic stretch-wrap tension rather than a mechanical windlass rod. At under 1 oz and wallet-flat, it stores where rigid devices cannot. Its printed visual indicators (ovals→circles, diamonds→squares) guide correct application tension. For adult extremity hemorrhage in tactical or clinical settings, CoTCCC prioritizes windlass devices; the SWAT-T excels for pediatric, canine, and junctional applications, and as a compact EDC option.

Is the Mojo® Pocket Bleeder Kit BASIC approved for civilian purchase?

Yes — the BASIC kit contains no controlled or prescription-only items. The SWAT-T™ tourniquet is available to civilians without a license. Stop the Bleed or equivalent hemorrhage control training is strongly recommended before carrying any kit.

How is the Mojo® BASIC carried on duty?

The vacuum-sealed nylon pouch is approximately 5″ × 3″ × 1″ and 6.9 oz, fitting cargo pockets, jacket pockets, and IFAK side sleeves. For MOLLE or belt attachment, upgrade to the MOJO® Belt Holster Bleeder Kit (same contents, purpose-built holster pouch).

Does the BASIC include a MARCH™ reference card?

No — the BASIC configuration includes only the SWAT-T™ tourniquet and vacuum-sealed pouch. The MARCH™ Quick Reference Card Set is included in the INTERMEDIATE and ADVANCED configurations.
