Tourniquet (ETQ™) SNAKESTAFF SYSTEMS™

 

Real World Usage Data Version 2.6- 2024-02-19

There are a lot of great tourniquets on the market but their size can make them awkward or difficult to carry, especially in a daily or concealed fashion directly on your person.

The Everyday Carry Tourniquet (ETQ™) is compact, roughly the size of a small multi-tool, and fits comfortably into your pocket making it easy to have on you at all times.

Features:
Carabiner windlass lock: Windlasses that are bumped and unwind in transport have proven deadly. Our patent pending locking carabiner gate holds the windlass securely in place.

Textured Windlass: If you’re using a TQ, there will be slippery blood . . . a lot of it. Our textured windlass helps you get a grip in a life and death situation.

Chemlight: The included chemlight breaks upon application so first responders can see where TQ is applied at night.

Instructions: Simplified instructions are printed right on the TQ for those that don’t have medical experience or are in shock. A scannable QR code takes you to a step-by-step video tutorial. Watch here.

Heavy-duty construction: Our product is manufactured in the U.S.A. with the utmost quality materials, making it durable and long lasting. In addition to our exhaustive testing in extreme conditions, we ran over the ETQ with a 6,500 pound dually and then immediately applied it and it still performed perfectly!

Water repellent: Unlike other TQ’s, the ETQ™ absorbs a minimal amount of water or sweat.

Specs:

Folded Size: Comparable to a G19 magazine. It fits in handgun mag pouches and kydex carriers.

Note on TQ width: The ETQ™ measures 37.5” long by 1” wide. Many people believe the gold standard TQ is wider than it actually is. However, If you closely examine one you’ll see that it’s only a 1” piece of webbing doing the constricting. Try it for yourself. Constrict your TQ across a foam roller and leave it for 30 minutes. Come back and measure the imprints. You’ll notice the width only measures 1”. A 1” functional width gets the job done and has been trusted for years.

If you’d still prefer a wider tourniquet, you can purchase our ETQ WIDE™

Carabiner GATE Lock
Our patent-pending carabiner gate system is designed to keep the windlass from accidentally unwinding during transport. It auto-locks and is more secure than a hook & loop strap. It also doubles as a mounting solution and can be attached to a key ring, backpack, belt loops or MOLLE.

QR code Instructions

Everyone should know how to apply a TQ; however, when shock sets in, it’s helpful to have simple instructions on the ETQ™ itself. Scan the QR code with a smartphone to access a step-by-step video tutorial.

AUTO-SNAP CHEMLIGHT
Visibility of applied tourniquets is key when first responders arrive on the scene. The chemlight automatically snaps upon application.

Get a grip
If you’re using a TQ, there will be blood . . . a lot of blood. Our windlass is textured and channeled so you can keep a good grip while winding, despite slippery conditions.

STRONG & RELIABLE
The ETQ™ is overbuilt. In testing, we ran it over with a 6,500 pound dually and it still performed. Why is strength a big deal? If your windlass snaps under pressure, you’re in big trouble. Quality matters!

Works WITH KIDS & K9’S
The ETQ™ is designed to constrict down to a 1” diameter making it suitable for use on adults, children, canines or any other small-limbed creature.
