Tourniquets save lives, both on the battlefield with soldiers and off the battlefield with civilians. Halco’s Mixed Nylon Woven Hook and Loop Tape is a vitally important part of many tourniquet designs. This material is unique from other hook and loop materials as it has hooks and loops woven on one side so that it securely self-engages. This makes it a perfect material for straps that tighten down around an injured extremity or limb. It is also used to secure the windlass that is turned to tighten the tourniquet.

Halco USA is ramping up production and working with defense and first responder product manufacturers around the world in response to the urgent need for defense and civilian tourniquets with hook and loop closures.
