CAT Tourniquet Molle & PPE Holder

thingiverse

I bought a bag from mymedic that had a RAT Tourniquet in it. Wasn't real impressed with it so looked at the CAT Tourniquets. I wanted a way to mount the Tourniquet on the outside of my bag with everything I need in easy reach. The bag itself has Molle-based webbing on the outside, so I fired up Freecad. I designed it to be mounted one of three ways: Clipped onto a Molle system or most webbing. Zip tied through the three zip tie slots. Screwed or riveted through the back. It could also not be mounted, but thrown in your bag and everything would stay together. You can use the rubber band to secure the Tourniquet if you would like. I designed it to be flicked off with one finger. That way in an emergency, everything can be one-handed, while your other hand is knuckle deep in a wound. You could use black rubber bands to make it look nicer. It is pretty tight, so you really don't have to use the rubber band if you don't want. For your PPE, fold your gloves in half on the long axis and roll them from the fingertips. Put the top in first with the exposed glove edge towards the back wall. That makes for a clean install. The side-mounted Sharpie holder....put the short Sharpie in with clip facing away from the mount side. As far as the text on the side. I used reflective vinyl and cut it out on my vinyl machine. If you print in Red, you can use the Sharpie to color in the words and it looks really good. The font is Arial Black if you want to try and match it.
