Problems solved by technology

When a victim is injured, blood loss can be a significant case of death.
For example, law enforcement routinely wears tactical vests or body armor which does not readily lend itself to placement of a tourniquet holster.
Given the configuration of the tactical vest, placing a tourniquet holster on it can be challenging.
However, neither of these references provide for a tourniquet holster that is compatible with existing gear.

Abstract

The present invention is related to a removably attachable tourniquet holster comprising: wings hingeably attached to a back panel wherein the wings can be folded inward and removably attached to each other to define a slot for receiving a strap attached to an article; side support wings hingeably attached to the back panel; and, a front panel removably attached to the side support wings to define a tourniquet compartment for receiving a tourniquet. The tourniquet allows for a single handed opening of the tourniquet to reveal the tourniquet compartment allowing one handed retrieval of a tourniquet form the tourniquet holster. The tourniquet can be attached in a manner so as to reduce the impact on the existing fasteners of the article for which tourniquet holster is attached.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1) Field of the Invention[0002]The invention is directed to a tourniquet holster that can be removable attached to an article such as, but not by way of limitation, a vest, ballistic vest, load bearing gear, strap, carrier and the like.[0003]2) Description of Related Art[0004]When a victim is injured, blood loss can be a significant case of death. Therefore, the ability to stop the blood loss from an injury is critical to survival for various injuries. Preventable death occurs when the injured party does not receive medical treatment and more specifically, when the blood loss is not stopped in a timely fashion. One of the proven ways to stop blood loss is through the use of a tourniquet such as shown in U.S. Pat. No. 7,892,253. However, there is a need for a secured method of carrying such as tourniquet that can be used in a timely fashion. Further, there is a need for an apparatus to carry a tourniquet that can be operated one-handed in the event th...
