The ultimate solution for effective hemorrhage control.
The patented C-A-T® is a true one-handed tourniquet proven to be 100% effective by the U.S. Army’s Institute of Surgical Research. Tests have demonstrated that the CAT completely occluded blood flow of an extremity in the event of a traumatic wound with significant hemorrhage.
Key Features:
- Durable Windlass System: The Gen 7 CAT utilizes a robust windlass system with a patented free-moving internal band providing true circumferential pressure to the extremity.
- Reliable Performance: Once adequately tightened, bleeding will cease and the windlass is locked into place.
- Secure Retention: A hook and loop windlass retention strap is then applied, securing the windlass to maintain pressure during casualty evacuation.
- User-Friendly Design: The CAT’s unique dual securing system avoids the use of screws and clips, which can become difficult to operate under survival stress or when fine motor skills are compromised.
- Official Tourniquet: The patented Combat Application Tourniquet® (C-A-T®), featuring the proprietary red tip design and the mechanical advantage of a band within a band, has been the Official Tourniquet of the U.S. Army since 2005.
