STAT X-FORCE® TQ Tourniquet

The X-FORCE® Tourniquet (TQ) features an intuitive ratcheting system that allows rapid and effective pressure adjustment to stop blood flow to an injured limb. Its advanced locking mechanism also enables precise, incremental pressure reduction—ideal when transitioning to a pressure dressing.

Key Features:

• Dual Independent Release Levers
  Two separate release levers allow for controlled conversion from tourniquet use to a pressure dressing, enhancing versatility in emergency care.

• Triple-Locking Tension System
  The tension strap includes triple-locking teeth for secure placement. The strap head features an independent locking release that functions even under pressure, separate from the dual ratchet release system.

• Tension Strap Pull Hole
  A dedicated pull hole enables initial tightening of the strap around the limb prior to activating the mechanical ratchet system.

• Durable Thermal Plastic Composite
  Constructed from a tough, solvent-resistant thermal plastic composite, the X-FORCE® TQ stands up to harsh environments and chemical exposure, making it one of the most rugged tourniquets available.

• Compact Yet Capable
  The slim design makes it easier to carry compared to bulkier alternatives—while maintaining the same overall dimensions (34" long, 1.5" wide head/base, 1" tension strap) as many military-grade tourniquets.

• Enhanced Grip Lever
  A reinforced internal finger grip on the tension lever improves handling in wet or slippery conditions.

• Protective Safety Strap Cover
  Strategically positioned to safeguard the strap’s locking mechanism and release levers from accidental activation during use or transport.

• Anti-Overtightening Feature
  Built-in safety mechanism reduces excessive pressure and auto-adjusts to safer levels, helping to minimise the risk of tissue and muscle damage.

• Latex FREE - The X-Force tourniquet is 100% latex free.
