Tournike Ep3

The Tournike EP3 is a windlass-style tourniquet designed for single-handed application to control life-threatening extremity hemorrhaging. While it draws visual inspiration from the industry-standard CAT (Combat Application Tourniquet) Gen 7, the EP3 incorporates specific design tweaks that manufacturers claim improve durability, ease of use, and mechanical advantage.

The "EP3" nomenclature typically refers to its generation or model iteration—suggesting it is the third evolution of the Tournike brand’s platform.

The hook-and-loop (Velcro) strap on the EP3 has been optimized for speed. The loop section is longer, allowing for a wider range of limb circumferences (from a small child’s arm to a large adult thigh). The hook section is aggressive enough to stay attached but not so sharp that it tears up your gear bag.
