Tourniquet Belt-TQB by DNA Innovations

10/12/2026

I’m grateful to have been part of the Military Track Pitch Competition and excited to keep sharing the TQB with the community.

I’ll be at the Military Business Market this weekend with DNA Innovations and the Tourniquet Belt.

Come out, try it for yourself, ask questions, and see how TQB works as both an everyday belt and an emergency preparedness tool.

Being prepared shouldn’t be a burden.

Hope to see you there!

I’m honored to share that DNA Innovations won the Military Track at Boise Entrepreneur Week.

It was a great experience pitching TQB, connecting with other entrepreneurs, and hearing so many different ideas from founders across the other tracks. Events like this are a reminder of how strong the Boise startup community is and how much good can happen when people are willing to share ideas, give feedback, and support each other.

I also want to give a quick shoutout to Renegade Fence Boise for their second-place win and Envol Dynamics for taking third. They both had great pitches and were absolutely deserving.

A huge thank you to Veteran Entrepreneur Alliance, Mission43 and Trailhead Boise for putting this together and creating space for veteran and military-connected entrepreneurs to share what we’re building.

I’m grateful for the opportunity to represent DNA Innovations, share the mission behind the Tourniquet Belt, and continue moving this forward.

Being prepared shouldn’t be a burden.

Had the opportunity to pitch DNA Innovations and the TQB at the VEA Military Pitch Competition.

It was a great experience getting to share what we’ve been building, connect with other veteran entrepreneurs, and hear different ideas from people who are solving real problems in their own spaces.

I’m grateful for the chance to represent DNA Innovations, tell the story behind the Tourniquet Belt, and continue building momentum around a simple mission:

Being prepared shouldn’t be a burden.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to listen, ask questions, and offer support. Thank you Mission43 and Veteran Entrepreneur Alliance for putting up a great event. Events like this are a reminder that innovation grows faster when good people are willing to share ideas and help each other move forward.

“You can’t use a belt as a tourniquet.”

Normally, I’d agree.

But TQB wasn’t built like a normal belt.

In this quick demo, I used the TQB head-to-head against someone using a CAT tourniquet, and we finished nearly at the same time.

This is not a replacement for training or proven medical gear. It’s about building emergency readiness into something you already wear every day.

Low-profile. Wearable. Ready when it matters.

Being prepared shouldn’t be a burden.

Wore the TQB out to the Western Idaho State Fair today.

That’s the idea behind it: low-profile enough for everyday wear, but designed to convert for emergency bleeding control when seconds matter.

No extra pouch. No extra gear to remember. Just a belt you can actually keep with you.

Being prepared shouldn’t be a burden.

The first TQB pre-orders are packed and ready to go out the door.

This has been a long road of designing, testing, refining, and getting this product ready for real people to use. Seeing the first orders boxed up is a pretty big milestone.

TQB was built around a simple idea: being prepared shouldn’t be a burden.

A low-profile belt for everyday wear, designed to convert for emergency bleeding control when it matters.

One of the questions we get most often is, "How has the TQB been tested?"

This clip is from some of our early development testing using a Gaumard HAL Trauma Patient Simulator.

In the video, the TQB is applied to the simulator's leg while an arterial bleed is active. As tension is applied, the simulated bleeding stops. When the belt is loosened, the bleeding resumes. Tightening the belt again once again stops the simulated bleed.

This testing has been an important part of our development process, helping us evaluate the design and continue refining the product.

We're excited to finally begin getting the TQB into the hands of our first customers.

Presale is now open, with expected shipping beginning in early July.

After months of development, testing, redesigns, and feedback, the TQB (Tourniquet Belt) is now available for presale.

The TQB is a low-profile everyday belt designed to provide an emergency bleeding-control option when traditional equipment isn't immediately available. By integrating emergency preparedness into something people already wear every day, our goal is simple: make preparedness easier to carry.

Initial quantities are limited. If the first production run sells out, we'll also offer a reservation option that locks in the current presale pricing for the next production run.

This project started as an idea to solve a problem I saw repeatedly in emergency medicine: people often leave life-saving equipment behind because it is bulky, inconvenient, or simply not with them when they need it. The TQB is our attempt to bridge that gap.

Thank you to everyone who has supported, tested, challenged, and encouraged us throughout this journey. We're excited to finally put this product into your hands.

After more than a year of design, testing, redesigning, manufacturing challenges, and countless iterations, we're finally getting close.

We've been pretty quiet lately because we've been focused on building, not talking.

This Friday, DNA Innovations will open a limited pre-sale for the TQB (Tourniquet Belt).

The TQB is a low-profile everyday belt designed to be available when seconds matter. Built around the idea that preparedness shouldn't require carrying extra gear, the TQB combines everyday wear with emergency capability in a single product.

Initial quantities will be limited, with expected shipping beginning in early July.

Thank you to everyone who has supported this project, provided feedback, tested prototypes, shared ideas, and believed in the vision.

More details coming Friday.
