If you cut open the most widely used TQ by LE and militaries around the world you'll find that it's only a 1" wide piece of inner webbing that's doing the constricting. The outer 1.5" sleeve does not constrict. Don't believe us, try tightening one of those on a foam roller next to the ETQ for 30 min. You'll see they leave the same imprint. 1" wide. 1" has been good enough to stop the bleed for years. If you want a wider TQ, take a look at our ETQ Wide.

We kept small diameter limbs in mind during the design process. It can constrict down to 1" diameter, which is significantly smaller than other TQs, making it a great option for children and dogs.

The ETQ Gen 2 is offered in Gray, Orange, Ranger Green and Blue.

The ETQ and ETQ Wide have been proven to cut off blood flow using doppler and ultrasound at a level 5 trauma unit. We went through extensive testing of its durability and windlass strength in extreme weather conditions. Additionally, we're currently working with several universities to conduct independent, published, clinical trials on our ETQs.

Contrary to popular belief, manufacturers cannot submit tourniquets to the Committee of Tactical Combat Casualty Care (CoTCCC) for review whenever they want. Instead, CoTCCC organizes review sessions at their choosing. CoTCCC has only done two TQ reviews in the last 20 years, the most recent of which was in 2019. Therefore, the ETQ and ETQ Wide have not yet been reviewed by the CoTCCC. We've been in regular contact with CoTCCC members however, there is no indication that another TQ review is happening any time soon. In fact, there are indications that CoTCCC will no longer be doing TQ reviews at all. In lieu of this we're currently working with several universities to conduct independent, published, clinical trials on our ETQs however none of them have concluded at the moment. We've also done numerous color doppler ultrasound tests, some of which are posted on the site. We will continue to pursue independent, third-party testing and publish the data as it becomes available, so customers can make their own informed decisions.

We do not ship directly to international customers. International customers will be able to make purchases through dealers in their own country or region at a later date.

While tourniquets are inherently a one-time use item we stand behind our product. ETQs come with a lifetime warranty covering any manufacturing defects. This does not include repeated use as a trainer. Contact us for warranty and returns.

We get hundreds of requests for free evaluation samples every day. Unfortunately, we can't afford to send free samples to everyone. We may send samples to those representing medical, law enforcement, and military organizations but not to individuals. Requests must be made by organizational leadership or via memorandum on agency letterhead signed by agency leadership.
