Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: To clean the pouch, gently wipe it down with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the material.
- Drying: After cleaning, allow the pouch to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area before storing or re-using. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, or expose to direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store the pouch in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Proper storage helps prevent material degradation and maintains the pouch's integrity.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the quick-release buckle, attachment straps, and all stitching for any signs of wear, fraying, or damage. If significant wear or damage is observed, it is recommended to replace the pouch to ensure reliable performance in critical situations.
Troubleshooting
- Pouch does not fit my tourniquet:
- This pouch is designed to fit most standard tourniquets, including the RATS Tourniquet. If your specific tourniquet does not fit, it may exceed the intended internal dimensions of the pouch (approximately 5"H x 2"W). Please verify the dimensions of your tourniquet against the pouch's specifications.
- Pouch feels loose on my belt:
- Ensure that your belt is no wider than the specified 2 inches (5.08 cm) for optimal fit. Make sure the hook-and-loop fasteners on the rear attachment straps are fully engaged and pressed firmly against the belt. Adjust the pouch's position on your belt to achieve a snug and stable fit.
- Difficulty with one-handed extraction:
- Practice the extraction process to become familiar with the mechanism. Ensure the tourniquet is inserted correctly and is not snagged on any internal components. The quick-release buckle should operate smoothly. If the buckle feels stiff or sticky, ensure it is clean and free of any debris that might impede its function.
