PRODUCT INFORMATION

Tactical Medical Solutions · Tourniquet Carrier

Universal Armor Tourniquet Dispenser

A TacMed™ tourniquet carrier that mounts behind the ID patch area of a ballistic vest or plate carrier — front, back, or both — for ambidextrous one-hand access without consuming any MOLLE real estate. Ships stocked with SOF® Tourniquets — the manufacturer does not publish a unit count. Manufacturer-stated weight 10.4 oz (295 g) for Orange and Black, 6.9 oz (195 g) for Tan and Red. Patent pending. Black, Tan, Red and Orange.

Ships with SOF® TourniquetsZero MOLLE consumptionAmbidextrous one-hand pull10.4 oz / 6.9 oz by color · 4 colors

A tourniquet you can only reach with your good hand is a tourniquet you may not reach at all. Ambidextrous extraction is the whole point of the pull-strap design.

Kit Contents

This platform ships stocked: the dispenser plus SOF® Tourniquets — the manufacturer does not publish a unit count. Contents are identical across all four colorways — Black · Tan · Red · Orange. Tap a section for the contents and for mounting, colors and part numbers.

1× Universal Armor Tourniquet Dispenser, heavy-duty materials with reinforced stitching, made in the USA
SOF® Tourniquets included — the manufacturer does not publish a unit count; contact us to confirm quantity for a specific order. Staged in the dispenser with pull-strap extraction.
Manufacturer-stated weight: 10.4 oz (295 g) for Orange and Black; 6.9 oz (195 g) for Tan and Red
No dressings, hemostatics, chest seals or other medical supplies are included — this is a tourniquet carrier, not a full IFAK

VIEW ▾Mounting, Colors & Part Numbers — how and where it mounts

Mounts in the ID patch area of a ballistic vest or plate carrier — the dispenser sits between the vest and the patch, so the ID panel stays visible on the outside
Zero MOLLE consumption: the ID patch area is normally allocated to a name tape or agency panel rather than functional equipment, so PALS webbing stays free for other gear
Front and rear mounting are both supported; a rear-mounted dispenser is reachable by a teammate approaching from behind during a downed-officer drag, which is why teams run one front and one back
Ambidextrous pull-strap extraction — either hand reaches either tourniquet, which matters when the injury is to the dominant arm
Reinforced stitching maintains positive retention through vehicle extrication, prolonged patrol and high-activity movement
With the patch fitted over it, the front panel looks like any patch-equipped vest — no external indication of the sub-patch capability
Universal fit across most ID patch areas regardless of carrier manufacturer, so existing agency armor can be retrofitted without buying new carriers
Part numbers by color — Black: UTDK-4 · Tan: UTDK-1 · Red: UTDK-2 · Orange: UTDK-3
Also supplied as a component of the TacMed™ CERS – Individual and CERS – Rescue systems

Tourniquet application is a trained skill. Placement, conversion and monitoring are governed by the responder's training, protocols and scope of practice.

▾Who Carries It

Law enforcement patrol and tactical teams mounting a dispenser front and rear so tourniquets are always within reach of the wearer and within reach of a partner · Agencies retrofitting existing armor, where the universal ID-patch fit avoids replacing carriers · Rescue task force and ASHER-role responders standardizing tourniquet placement across a team so every operator knows where the tourniquets are on anyone's carrier · Vehicle pre-staging, where a loaded dispenser sits on a carrier in the trunk and is in position the moment the carrier is donned.

The rear-mount case is the strong one clinically: a casualty being dragged from behind cannot self-access their own front panel, and buddy-care tourniquet application during extraction is consistent with treating before moving. Verify fit before operational deployment if you intend to stage a tourniquet model other than the ones supplied.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What tourniquets come with the Universal Armor Tourniquet Dispenser?

The Universal Armor Tourniquet Dispenser includes TWO SOF® Tourniquets. The SOF® (Special Operations Forces) Tourniquet is a CoTCCC-recommended extremity hemorrhage control device designed for one-handed self-application. Two tourniquets are included to enable dual mounting — one on the front ID patch area for self-care access and one on the back ID patch area for buddy-care deployment by a teammate.

Does the Universal Armor Tourniquet Dispenser use MOLLE webbing?

No — this is the dispenser's key advantage. The Universal Armor Tourniquet Dispenser mounts over the ID patch area of a vest or plate carrier, occupying no MOLLE webbing space. The ID patch or name tape is placed on top of the dispenser, maintaining the vest's normal appearance. This design preserves all available MOLLE real estate for other mission-critical pouches and equipment.

What vests and plate carriers is the dispenser compatible with?

The Universal Armor Tourniquet Dispenser is designed to fit most standard ID patch areas found on ballistic vests and plate carriers — the ID patch area is a near-universal feature of law enforcement, military, and RTF body armor. It is specifically designed to integrate with TacMed™ carrier platforms including the Responder Plate Carrier. Agencies with non-standard vest configurations should verify that their carrier's ID patch area dimensions match the dispenser's mounting footprint.

Why is the back-mount configuration useful for team operations?

Mounting the tourniquet dispenser on the back of a plate carrier enables a rescuer working behind a downed teammate to access the tourniquet without requiring the casualty to roll over or the rescuer to reach around the body. During drag evacuation — a common movement pattern in Care Under Fire scenarios — the back-mounted dispenser is exactly where the rescuer's hands naturally fall. This positional logic, embedded in TCCC buddy-care doctrine, makes the back-mount a standard practice for RTF teams.

What colors are available and what do the color options mean operationally?

The dispenser is available in Black (UTDK-4), Tan (UTDK-1), Red (UTDK-2), and Orange (UTDK-3). Red and Orange provide high-visibility identification for immediate visual location of the tourniquet under stress. Black and Tan match most tactical vest color schemes for a low-profile appearance. Agencies that use standardized color coding for medical equipment — for example, Orange for tourniquet dispensers as part of a vest-standardization program — should select accordingly.

Does the Universal Armor Tourniquet Dispenser work with CAT tourniquets or only SOF-T?

The dispenser is described as "universal" — it accommodates other tourniquets on the market in addition to the SOF® Tourniquet with which it is sold. CAT Gen 7 tourniquets and similar windlass designs will fit with comparable pull-strap operation. TacMed recommends verifying fit with your specific tourniquet model before operational deployment.

Can the Universal Armor Tourniquet Dispenser be mounted on the back of the carrier?

Yes. TacMed explicitly designed the dispenser for both front and rear mounting. The rear mounting position supports team or buddy deployment — a partner approaching from behind can access the rear-mounted tourniquets without the wearer needing to self-access. Running dispensers front and rear doubles immediately accessible tourniquets on a single carrier.
