Product description


RAPID APPLICATION TOURNIQUET SYSTEM (R.A.T.S.)
The fastest combat-proven tourniquet on the market

SPEED = LIFE
The Rapid Tourniquet was developed to be used in real-life situations, under stress, even at night. Studies have shown that when a person is stressed, their fine motor skills diminish, while their gross motor skills become enhanced. The Rapid Tourniquet is designed with this idea in mind. No fine motor skills needed! Unlike traditional tourniquets there’s no threading, locks, or other complex procedures.

SAFE AND EFFECTIVE TO USE
When properly applied, the R.A.T.S. Tourniquet is a safe and effective device for controlling life-threatening hemorrhaging. Consult an EMS professional for proper training on any and all tourniquet use. Read all directions and understand proper use before any attempt to render aid. If used due to trauma, go to the nearest hospital immediately

THE ANIMAL FRIENDLY-TOURNIQUET
Our R.A.T.S. Tourniquet isn’t just for people – it can be used safely, easily and quickly on pet limbs to stop the bleeding and save animal lives. In use by thousands of military and law enforcement personnel, the R.A.T.S. is remarkably easy to operate under pressure. You won’t regret having this premium quality tourniquet in an emergency.


ABOUT THE R.A.T.S.
The Rapid Application Tourniquet System (R.A.T.S) is the fastest tourniquet on the market and is used to stop massive hemorrhaging due to trauma. The R.A.T.S. uses a solid elastic core of proprietary material with a polyester sheath, combined with a patented locking mechanism to make an incredibly fast tourniquet to apply to self or others. No other tourniquet compares to the R.A.T.S. when being used under stress in terms of time or ease of use.
SAFE FOR SKIN
The inner core of the strap does have some latex. The core however, is made of a vulcanized rubber with a high silicone content. Chance of latex reaction is considered the same as if exposed to an automobile tire. Core is completely wrapped in a protective polyester sheath, which acts to shield the inner core from direct contact with the skin.
VISIBLE AND EASY TO CARRY
The R.A.T.S. can fit just about anywhere on your kit. Choose between several vibrant colors to make your tourniquet stand out when it counts the most.
Features Easy to learn and use. Simply designed and allows for one handed use. Small and takes up minimal space allowing you to store them almost anywhere. Designed to also allow for use on small limbs, i.e. working dogs. Proven effective in stopping bleeding in extremities by the U.S.Army Institute of Surgical Research. Patented U.S. Pat. No. 9,168,044.
