Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Snakestaff Systems ETQ tourniquet?

The ETQ (Every Day Tourniquet) by Snakestaff Systems is a medical device designed for hemorrhage control. It comes in a 1-inch width for concealability and a 1.5-inch 'Wide' version. Its efficacy in occluding arterial blood flow was demonstrated using ultrasound.

How does Snakestaff Systems' ETQ compare to other tourniquets?

The ETQ's 1-inch width is emphasized for concealability, contrasting with the 1.5-inch width of some competitors like the CAT. However, the internal compression band of the CAT is also noted to be 1 inch, suggesting comparable effectiveness in occlusion.

What other medical gear does Snakestaff Systems offer?

Snakestaff Systems also offers the Watson Rig, a carrier for magazines and tourniquets, the ReadyMed Hybrid IFAK with IWB/OWB capability and a pull-tab deployment, and the A.C.B. (Another Concealment Belt) with a Tegris spine for rigidity.

How was the effectiveness of the ETQ tourniquet demonstrated?

The effectiveness of the ETQ was demonstrated live using an ultrasound probe. The ultrasound showed that tightening the tourniquet's windlass successfully occluded arterial blood flow in a leg, with the pulse disappearing on screen and returning upon release.
