Rapid Medical, RATS Rapid Application Tourniquet System ** Gen 2 **

Description

The Rapid Application Tourniquet System:
is the fastest tourniquet on the market and is used to stop massive hemorrhaging due to trauma. The R.A.T.S. uses a solid elastic core of proprietary material with a polyester sheath, combined with a patented locking mechanism to make an incredibly fast tourniquet to apply to self or others. No other tourniquet compares to the R.A.T.S. when being used under stress in terms of time or ease of use.
The R.A.T.S. is:
Easy to learn and use
Simple design allows for one handed use
Takes up minimal space allowing you to store almost anywhere
Works on all limb sizes, i.e. adults, working dogs, and children
Proven to be effective in occluding blood flow in both upper & lower
extremities by the U.S. Army's Institute of Surgical Research
Gen2 is longer to accommodate larger limbs
The inner core of the strap does have some latex. The core however, is made of a vulcanized rubber with a high silicone content. Chance of latex reaction is considered the same as if exposed to an automobile tire. Core is completely wrapped in a protective polyester sheath, which acts to shield the inner core from direct contact with the skin.
When properly applied, the R.A.T.S. Tourniquet is a safe
and effective device for controlling life-threatening hemmoraghing . Consult an EMS professional for proper training on any and all tourniquet use. Do not apply over solid objects. Read all directions and understand proper use before any attempt to render aid. If used due to trauma, go to the nearest hospital immediately.
