CAUTION: There are numerous counterfeits & knock-off tourniquets on Amazon. The links below are from validated vendors who supply authentic products from TacMed Solutions & North American Rescue. If you stray off of these links to one of the 'Amazon suggested' links that will be listed on the same page, you do so at your own risk.
I have purchased authentic CAT & SOFTT-W tourniquets from "Rescue Essentials", "Sheepdog Police Supply", & "Off Grid Preparedness". Check the "Sold By:" before completing your purchase; if it's not one of those three vendors, you are shopping at your own risk. If in doubt, order straight from North American Rescue or TacMed Solutions!
