The fact is that Training and preparation are Key to survival. Don't think you know it all! Training brings you closer to reality! Understanding how gear works, how & Where to set and place them, and ensuring safety...knowing the protocols and procedures...that is what is saving lives!

Tourniquet myths can cost lives.

Many believe all tourniquets are the same or that applying one is simple under pressure. The truth? Proper training and gear selection are critical.

Here's what you need to know:

• Tourniquets must be accessible and easy to deploy—packaging that's tough to open wastes precious seconds.
• One-size doesn't fit all. Choose a tourniquet designed for rapid, reliable application in high-stress situations.
• Practice regularly. Muscle memory beats hesitation when bleeding won't wait.
• Always carry more than one—redundancy saves lives.

At MED-TAC, we combine veteran expertise and medical precision to provide tourniquets engineered for professionals and trusted by heroes.

Get the gear. Get the training. Be the calm in the chaos.

Keep Hydrated! However, sports drinks are full of essential salts, minerals, and sugars; too much of them has a negative effect.

Guidance, for less than 60 minutes of exercise in a gym, no sports drink is necessary. Just Water or diluted juice.

For a 1-2 hour exercise, only 500ml of sports drink is suggested. It's advised to dilute it with water (1:1).

For a 3+ hour exercise, only 1000ml of sports drink is suggested. It's advised to dilute it with water (1:1).

Remember, according to your weight, you should drink about 25-35 mL of fluids per kilogram. Coffee and green tea are diuretics, and it's not advised to count them towards daily fluid intake.

🔴 Potassium (K⁺)
• Normal range: 3.5 – 5.0 mEq/L
• Role:
• Essential for heart and muscle function
• Maintains fluid balance and blood pressure
• Interactions:
• ↑K⁺ = ↓Na⁺
• ↓K⁺ = ↑Na⁺
• ↑K⁺ = ↑Mg²⁺
• ↓K⁺ = ↓Mg²⁺

💧 Sodium (Na⁺)
• Normal range: 135 – 145 mEq/L
• Role:
• Regulates blood volume and blood pressure
• Maintains fluid balance
• Interactions:
• ↑Na⁺ = ↓K⁺
• ↓Na⁺ = ↑K⁺

⚪ Magnesium (Mg²⁺)
• Normal range: 1.3 – 2.1 mEq/L
• Role:
• Helps in muscle relaxation
• Supports the immune system
• Controls blood glucose levels
• Important for bone health
• Interactions:
• ↑Mg²⁺ = ↑K⁺
• ↓Mg²⁺ = ↓K⁺
• ↑Mg²⁺ = ↑Ca²⁺
• ↓Mg²⁺ = ↓Ca²⁺

🧠 Calcium (Ca²⁺)
• Normal range: 8.5 – 10.5 mEq/L
• Role:
• Provides neuron stability
• Maintains bone strength
• Regulates heart rate
• Essential for clotting factors (blood clotting)
• Interactions:
• ↑Ca²⁺ = ↑Mg²⁺
• ↓Ca²⁺ = ↓Mg²⁺
