PRODUCT INFORMATION

MED-TAC International · Tourniquet + Case Combo

SOF® Tourniquet (Gen 5) + Eleven 10® RIGID TQ Case® Combo

TacMed's fifth-generation SOF® Tourniquet, carried in the Eleven 10® RIGID TQ Case® cut for the SOF®TT and SOF®TT-W. The case is injection-molded nylon and holds the tourniquet by friction alone — no strap, buckle or flap between your hand and the windlass — on a Blade-Tech TEK-LOK mount for belts up to 2.25 in. Four duty colors of tourniquet, plus Trainer Blue for practicing the draw.

SOF® Tourniquet, Gen 5Friction retentionTEK-LOK belt mountInjection-molded nylonMade in USA

Anything you have to unfasten first is something you can fail to unfasten under stress. A friction case has one motion: grab and pull.

The short answer

What it is

TacMed's fifth-generation SOF® Tourniquet paired with Eleven 10's hard RIGID TQ Case® for the SOF®TT / SOF®TT-W, set up for belt carry.

Use it for

Life-threatening bleeding from an arm or a leg, including a traumatic amputation — from a tourniquet you carry on your belt.

How it's used

Grab the exposed tourniquet and pull, slide it on, pull the tail tight, twist until the bleeding stops and the pulse below it is gone, lock the windlass, write the time. High and tight over clothing when you cannot find the source or are under threat; on bare skin 2–3 in. above the wound when you can.

Who carries it

Law enforcement, security, EMS and fire crews and armed civilians who carry on a duty or gun belt.

10 things to know about the SOF® + RIGID TQ Case® combo

How the case carries the tourniquet, what changed in the fifth-generation SOF®, and what the options mean.

01

Two makers, one carry system

The tourniquet is TacMed's SOF® Tourniquet, fifth generation; the case is Eleven 10's RIGID TQ Case® for the SOF®TT / SOF®TT-W, belt version, part E10-3011B. TacMed states the case holds any SOF® Tourniquet.^3,6,8,10
02

Friction, not flaps

The case holds the tourniquet by friction, so there are no straps, buckles or flaps to work. Grab the exposed part and pull: a one-handed, gross-motor draw that works with wet or bloody hands.⁸
03

Injection-molded, not Kydex

The original version of Eleven 10's case was Kydex; the RIGID TQ Case® is injection-molded nylon, with a two-piece body that drains water out of the bottom, a textured front panel and a PVC medical cross patch.^8,9
04

A TEK-LOK belt mount

The combo ships on a Blade-Tech TEK-LOK that fits duty belts up to 2.25 in. The case mounts vertically, horizontally or inverted, with adjustable ride height.^8,9
05

Other mounts

Swap the TEK-LOK for a Tactical Tailor Malice Clip to run it on MOLLE, or mount it in the accessory position of a Safariland drop-leg shroud or on a Raven Concealment ModuLoader — hardware sold separately.^8,9
06

A wedge that shows when the slack is gone

The SOF® Tourniquet's 1.5 in. polyester strap carries a contrasting slack indicator wedge under the windlass; when it shows, the slack is out and fewer windlass turns are needed.³ In a manikin study of an earlier SOFTT-W, failed applications carried 10.5 mm of slack against 3.2 mm in successful ones.¹³
07

Two-stage lock, trapped-limb buckle

The TRAC clip holds the windlass for a moment; the Tri-Ring Lock™ locks it. If a limb is pinned, the buckle unclips, goes around and reconnects.^3,4
08

The evidence on the SOF design is mixed

Earlier SOFTT-W generations trailed the C-A-T in volunteer and manikin testing — 58% versus 6% failure on the arm, 35% versus 68% hemorrhage control on a manikin leg.^12,13 In a 2023 live-thigh study that included this fifth generation, 1 of 64 Gen 5 applications was not correctly secured, against 47 for the C-A-T Gen 7.¹¹
09

Five tourniquet colors

Black (84-0009), Rescue Orange (84-0010), Tan (84-0012), Red — the Red Cross version (84-0013) — and Trainer Blue (84-0011).³
10

Blue is a trainer

The Blue option is TacMed's Trainer Blue, a training device. In this case it is the right tool for practicing the draw from your belt — and it is never staged for duty use. Carry a Black, Rescue Orange, Tan or Red unit.³

How to draw and apply it

Eleven 10's draw, TacMed's application steps, and placement and follow-up from the TCCC Guidelines.

1

Decide where it goes. Under threat, or when you cannot see where the blood is coming from: hasty — high and tight, as far up the limb as it goes, over clothing. When the scene allows and you can identify the source: deliberate — on bare skin, 2–3 in. above the wound; if that point lands on a joint, move above the joint. Never across or directly over a joint.¹
2

Draw it. Grab the exposed part of the tourniquet and pull it straight out of the case.⁸
3

Slide it on. Slide the loop over the hand or foot and up the limb above the injury. If the limb is trapped, unclip the buckle, pass the band around and reconnect it.⁴
4

Pull the tail tight. Pull hard until the strap is snug and the slack indicator wedge shows the slack is out.^3,4
5

Twist and lock. Turn the windlass until the bleeding stops and the pulse below the tourniquet is gone — it hurts, and that is expected — then lock it in the Tri-Ring Lock™.^1,4
6

Still bleeding? Add a second. Tighten further; if one tourniquet does not stop the bleeding, apply a second one side-by-side with the first.¹
7

Write the time. Mark it on the tag and on the casualty card.^1,4
8

Reassess when you can. To convert a hasty tourniquet, put a second one on bare skin 2–3 in. above the wound, tighten it, then slowly release the first. If you still cannot identify the source, it stays high and tight.^1,15

Train the draw from the belt you wear. Practice with a Trainer Blue SOF® Tourniquet in the same case, in the same position and orientation, with either hand. Re-stage your duty tourniquet with the buckle connected and enough slack to slip over a limb.⁴

Where it fits

Use it for

Life-threatening bleeding from an arm or a leg
A traumatic amputation, even one that is barely bleeding — adrenaline constricts the arteries, and when it wears off they open and the bleeding starts
Belt carry beside a holster, radio and cuffs — the TEK-LOK fits belts up to 2.25 in.⁸
A one-handed draw with wet or bloody hands⁸

Not for

Junctional wounds — the groin, armpit and neck — where a limb tourniquet cannot be placed; pack them with a hemostatic dressing and hold pressure¹
Placement across or directly over a joint
Bleeding that firm direct pressure or a pressure dressing controls
Duty carry of the Blue option — it is a trainer

The evidence

The studies of the SOF design, which generation each one tested, and how strong the evidence is.

Study	Evidence type	What was studied	What it found
*Wall et al., J Spec Oper Med* 2023¹¹**	Human · live-thigh volunteers	64 appliers each applied 8 tourniquets, including the SOF Gen 5, SOFTT-W Gen 3, C-A-T Gen 7 and TMT, to live thighs	Not correctly secured: 1 SOF Gen 5 application vs 47 C-A-T Gen 7 and 31 TMT
*Treager et al., J Trauma Acute Care Surg* 2021¹²**	Human · randomized crossover	C-A-T Gen 7 vs TMT vs SOFTT-W (earlier generation), arm and leg, volunteers, Doppler endpoint	Arm failure 5.56% C-A-T, 19.44% TMT, 58.33% SOFTT-W; leg 27.78%, 44.44%, 61.11%; after a crawl and drag, no significant difference
*Katsnelson et al., Mil Med* 2020¹³**	Manikin · randomized	C-A-T Gen 7 vs SAM XT vs SOFTT-W (earlier generation), HapMed leg trainer, 60 military medicine cadets	Hemorrhage control 67.7% C-A-T, 73.3% SAM XT, 35% SOFTT-W; more slack with the SOFTT-W, and slack tracked failure
*Kragh et al., J Trauma* 2008¹⁴**	Human · combat clinical series	232 casualties, 428 tourniquets, Baghdad combat support hospital, 2006	No limbs lost because of tourniquet use; tourniquet time not associated with increased morbidity

Strongest to weakest: clinical series and live-volunteer studies, then manikin studies. Only the 2023 Wall study tested this fifth-generation tourniquet; the comparisons that favored the C-A-T tested earlier SOFTT-W generations. No study has tested the case itself.

Questions buyers ask

▾Is the tourniquet evidence-based standard?

Yes. The Evidence-Based Standard Devices & Adjuncts list names the SOF Tactical Tourniquet–Wide (SOFTT-W), NSN 6515-01-587-9943 — the model TacMed sells as the SOF® Tourniquet Gen 4.^2,5,7 The tourniquet in this combo is TacMed's fifth-generation SOF® Tourniquet — the current generation of that listed device, stocked under its own NSN, 6515-01-696-4522 — and is evidence-based standard.^3,7

▾Will a SOFTT-W Gen 4 fit the case?

Yes. The RIGID TQ Case® for the SOF®TT / SOF®TT-W holds the SOFTT-W as well as the SOF® Tourniquet, by friction, with no modification.^8,9

▾Is the Blue option a real tourniquet?

Blue is TacMed's Trainer Blue — a training device. It is not for live casualty care and must never be staged for duty use, even in a duty case. Use it to practice the draw and the application.³

▾What is the Red option?

Part 84-0013, the Red Cross version of the same SOF® Tourniquet. TacMed describes the SOF® Tourniquet as the exclusive tourniquet of the American Red Cross.³

▾Belt or MOLLE?

The combo ships on the TEK-LOK belt mount, which fits belts up to 2.25 in. For MOLLE, the TEK-LOK comes off and a Tactical Tailor Malice Clip goes on — sold separately.^8,9

▾Is the case Kydex?

No. The RIGID TQ Case® is injection-molded nylon; the original version of the case was Kydex.⁹

▾High and tight, or 2–3 inches above the wound?

Both are correct; the situation decides. Under threat, or when you cannot find the source, go high and tight over clothing. When it is safe and the source is identified, go on bare skin 2–3 in. above the wound, and above the joint if that point lands on one. Never across or directly over a joint.¹

▾How long can it stay on?

For civilians and most law enforcement — especially when you applied it to yourself — leave it on and let the receiving clinicians take it off. Military TCCC direction is to make every effort to convert a tourniquet in under 2 hours when the casualty is not in shock, the wound can be watched closely, and it is not an amputation; one in place more than 6 hours is not removed unless close monitoring and lab capability are available.¹ Long rural or remote transports are where conversion becomes a real question. In a combat series of 232 casualties, no limbs were lost because of tourniquet use.¹⁴

▾Can I reuse the tourniquet?

No. TacMed labels the SOF® Tourniquet for single use.⁴ Replace any tourniquet that has been applied to a casualty; the case carries on.

▾Who should carry it on the belt?

Military, law enforcement and anyone armed carry a tourniquet on their person. Everyone else keeps one as close as possible — gear bag, go bag, vehicle.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is the SOF®TT-Wide Tourniquet in this combo CoTCCC-recommended?

Yes. The SOF® Tactical Tourniquet Wide (SOF®TT-Wide) by Tactical Medical Solutions is a CoTCCC-recommended limb tourniquet. It holds an NSN (6515-01-696-4522) and has documented use across U.S. military branches and international special operations forces. Its 1.5"-wide compression band achieves arterial occlusion in both upper and lower extremities, and the high-strength alloy windlass components are designed for reliability under extreme field conditions.

What is included in the SOF® Tourniquet + Eleven-10® RIGID TQ Case Combo?

The combo includes one SOF®TT-Wide Tourniquet (Tactical Medical Solutions) in your choice of Black, Orange, Red, Coyote Tan, or Blue, and one Eleven-10® RIGID TQ Case for SOF®TT/SOF®TT-Wide with Belt Attachment (Blade-Tech TEK-LOK, fits belts up to 2.25" wide). A removable medical-identifying PVC cross patch is also included with the case.

How does the Eleven-10® RIGID TQ Case deploy the tourniquet?

The RIGID TQ Case holds the SOF®TT-Wide by friction, with the tourniquet's upper portion exposed above the case opening to provide a grip point. Deployment requires a single firm pull — no closures, straps, buckles, or snaps to operate. This gross motor skill deployment works with gloves on, in wet or bloody conditions, and under the physiological stress response that impairs fine motor skills. A drainage hole at the base of the case prevents water accumulation after submersion.

Can the Eleven-10® RIGID TQ Case hold other tourniquets besides the SOF®TT-Wide?

The Eleven-10® RIGID TQ Case for SOF is specifically designed for the SOF®TT and SOF®TT-Wide tourniquets. Eleven-10® manufactures separate RIGID TQ Case versions for the CAT Gen 7 and other tourniquet models — these are different products with different interior dimensions and are not interchangeable. The combo included here contains the correct case version matched to the SOF®TT-Wide.

What do the different tourniquet colors indicate in this combo?

All five color options (Black, Orange, Red, Coyote Tan, Blue) are functionally identical SOF®TT-Wide tourniquets — color does not affect performance. Black is preferred for tactical/operational duty where low visual signature matters. Orange provides high visibility for rapid identification during emergencies and training. Red is standard for EMS and emergency services color coding. Coyote Tan matches desert-environment military gear palettes. Blue is conventionally used as a training indicator to distinguish non-live practice tourniquets from operational ones.
