FAQs
What's the difference between the C.A.T, SOF, and RapidStop tourniquets?
All are windlass-style limb tourniquets designed to control severe bleeding; they differ mainly in brand, strap colour options, and buckle/windlass design, so the choice often comes down to trained preference or an organisation's standard-issue brand.
Why does colour (black vs orange) matter for a tourniquet?
Orange straps are commonly chosen for high visibility, making the applied tourniquet easier for other responders to spot quickly in an emergency.
What is packing gauze used for alongside a tourniquet?
Packing gauze, such as the RAPIDSTOP Packing Gauze or QUIKCLOT Combat Gauze, is packed directly into a wound to help control bleeding in junctional areas where a tourniquet cannot be applied.
Is training required to use a tourniquet correctly?
Yes — correct tourniquet placement, tightening, and timing is technique-dependent, so first aid or bleeding control training is strongly recommended for anyone who may need to apply one.
