BLOCS Quick Eject Tourniquet Carrier (BQETC)

Seconds count on the battlefield. In an emergency situation, soldiers need to get to their tourniquets quickly and effectively.

The Need:

• Blood loss one of the main causes of death on the battlefield.

• Soldiers not being able to access their tourniquets quickly.

• Soldiers removing their tourniquets from the plastic wrapping and tying them to their uniforms with rubber bands or aircraft ties, exposing tourniquets to the elements. Metal pieces of tourniquet are rusting and other pieces are getting contaminated by mud, dust, rain, and moisture, rendering the tourniquets ineffective.
