Came across this new Tourniquet from Snake Staff Systems (love the name!), it’s their ETQ Wide. I picked one up to test and play with to see if it was something myself or my coworkers might be interested in using. Very interesting idea and design, what do you guys think?

Smallest Limb Diameter. The ETQ™ has a unique design that allows it to constrict down to a 1” diameter making it suitable for use on adults, children, and canines.
EMS LE & MILITARY: The ETQ Wide™ 1.5” version is designed to meet criteria set forth by the Committee of Tactical Combat Casualty Care (CoTCCC). We look forward to submitting samples to CoTCCC and continue gathering real world data for when they conduct their next round of TQ evaluations.
PATENT PENDING
Same same, but different…but still same.
We took the same features of our ETQ™ and incorporated them into a wider 1.5” TQ for backpacks, belts etc. It still conceals nicely in jeans and around 35% smaller than the standard TQ. The extra width helps with less possible tissue damage if the TQ needs to be left on for hours.
