About Rapid Medical

While in Afghanistan for a US Army Special Forces tourniquet training, the inventor of the RATS TQ, Jeff Kirkham (retired Master Sergeant with the 19th SFG and former Special Agent with the Drug Enforcement Administration), became infatuated with the idea of creating a tourniquet that had a faster application and could be easily executed in the dark of night.

As a result of Jeff’s efforts, Rapid Medical now has an amazingly portable and compact TQ that is also the fastest and most versatile (works on children and animals just as well as adults) on the market.

Rapid Medical is the home of the Rapid Tourniquet (formerly known as the R.A.T.S. Tourniquet) and other advanced First Aid Solutions. Speed = Life.
