SWAT-T

If you have not seen these, you may want to look at them. They can be used for a tourniquet or pressure dressing. You have to love multi-use products. I have held one, but have not had a chance to really use one. It looks like a good product. I still prefer a C.A.T. or similar for primary tourniquet, but these are a less expensive back-up. I plan on getting several soon.

Of course, they are only as good as the user...Practice. At only about $10 buy two and set one aside for training.

Interesting. I have not seen/used them. Says they are latex free which is interesting and needed for a family member. The shelf life is not real long term though.

Shelf life is one thing I want to check when I get some. I'll throw one in my car as well as it sits in full sun all day on weekdays. Here in the south the days get pretty warm, I want to see what heat does to them. I wonder if vacuum sealing them would help if left in cool area.

I've had a couple of these in some of my med kits for a couple of years now. Thankfully havent had to use them yet. I do want to pick up a couple more C.A.T.'s though.
