Rigid TQ Tourniquet Case for C-A-T CAT Tourniquet - Rapid Access

In this review the Eleven 10 Rigid TQ Case is assessed as a purpose-built carrier for a CAT tourniquet that prioritizes speed and retention. It is aimed at law enforcement, military personnel, first responders and prepared civilians who need a hard-sided solution that gives true one-handed gross motor skills deployment when seconds count. The bottom line: the case trades soft cover convenience for a rigid, friction-fit design that keeps the tourniquet secure while allowing an exposed pull tab to be grabbed and released rapidly under stress.

Key Features

• Rapid deployment: The hard-sided shell exposes part of the tourniquet so a single gross motor pull releases it quickly even with limited dexterity.
• Rugged construction: Injection molded nylon stands up to demanding LE and MIL use so the case resists abrasion and repeated carry.
• Multiple mounting positions: Can be mounted vertically, horizontally or inverted to place the tourniquet at the optimal height for the wearer.
• Versatile attachments: Available with Blade-Tech TekLok for duty belts, Tactical Tailor Malice clip for MOLLE/PALS, or a Raven paddle for platform carry.
• Secure retention: The friction-fit holds the tourniquet in place with no straps or buckles to slow deployment.

Who It's For

The RIGID TQ Case is best for professionals who expect heavy use and need absolute confidence the tourniquet will stay put until needed, such as patrol officers, medics, and tactical teams. Its hard shell and dedicated attachments make it a good choice for duty belts, plate carriers and drop-leg platforms where durability and repeatable placement matter.

Casual users who prefer soft pouches or those who require a looser fit should look elsewhere, as some users report the fit can be snug depending on tourniquet model. If you need a universal, elastic pouch for varied gear, a soft carrier may be more appropriate.

Pros & Cons

Cons
