Not everyone can openly carry a medical pouch daily, so discrete on-the-body carrying is essential. The @tacmed_solutions ANKLE MEDICAL POUCH is ideal for everyday readiness, especially during those critical moments.
Designed for close protection operators and NPE tasks, this pouch offers a low-profile carry method for civilian EDC and low-visibility operations.
Check out our new post on Private Bloggins, the CTOMS Blog. It is available via the CTOMS website in the link in our bio.

A METHOD TO SECURE THE C-A-T WRITABLE WINDLASS SECURITY STRAP
We have found this lower-profile method to be better in pouches and keeping the strap clean.

ONE-HANDED BOWLINE
The One-Handed Bowline is a clever and useful technique for tying a bowline when one hand is busy or injured. To ensure security, always finish with an overhand knot tied to the loop. When tying the One-Handed Bowline, prioritize safety by forming the loop around your hand to avoid potential wrist entrapment.

DOUBLE FISHERMAN’S KNOT
The double fisherman’s, grapevine, or double Englishman’s knot is an essential ancient knot used in climbing, arboriculture, and search and rescue. This knot is known for its strength and versatility, and it is formed by tying a double overhand knot with each end around the opposite line’s standing part. It is commonly used to create high-strength slings of cord for connecting pieces of a climber’s protection. Additionally, it can be used to join the ends of a necklace cord, allowing for easy length adjustment without untying the strand.

The @breachpen GEN II burns for about 35-40 seconds!! The success of the burns depends on the operator’s skill with the tool. A well-trained operator can make at least three cuts on 5/8” rebar using a Breachpen GEN II.
CTOMS recommends using Breachpen within two years of the shipping date. If stored in a cool, dry place, Breachpens can last for years, but it’s a good idea to rotate them out during training to ensure that operators are always skilled and ready to use them.
Training can be obtained via CTOMS. For more information, contact [email protected]

❗️❗️❗️❗️
Tourniquet overuse or misuse can lead to significant tragedy—limb loss, physiologic complications, and even death. Casualty evacuation in Ukraine often exceeds 6 hours, and the liberal use of limb tourniquets have unintentionally increased morbidity. In a recent publication by a Ukrainian vascular surgeon, tourniquet use was only appropriate in 24.6% of applications treated at definitive care.
All wounds that have a tourniquet applied must be assessed for conversion to hemostatic or standard dressings during Tactical Field Care phase (TFC) and when, at the latest, transitioned to Prolonged Field Care (PFC). This will ensure minimal or amendable injuries are converted to hemostatic or pressure dressings as soon as possible. The longer a limb tourniquet is in place, the higher the risk of compartment syndrome, vascular thrombosis, rhabdomyolysis, and irreversible myonecrosis, resulting in significant tissue loss and often necessitating limb amputation.
The lives and limbs lost through unnecessary tourniquet usage and the failure to convert properly during TFC or PFC are training issues that must be addressed at all levels.
