The fastest, safest, most effective prehospital tourniquet!
Exceeds the new ANSI/ISEA Z308.1-2021 Standard for tourniquets!
Noted as the best prehospital tourniquet in the February 2008 supplement of The Journal of Trauma 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 proved that the CAT completely occluded blood flow of an extremity in the event of a traumatic wound with significant hemorrhage.The Gen 7 CAT utilizes a durable windlass system with a patented free-moving internal band providing true circumferential pressure to the extremity. Once adequately tightened, bleeding will cease and the windlass is locked into place. A hook and loop windlass retention strap is then applied, securing the windlass to maintain pressure during casualty evacuation. 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. The innovations in the CAT are protected by U.S. Patent Nos. 7,842,067 and 7,892,253
Product Enhancements:
• NEW Single Routing Buckle for faster application, decreased blood loss, effective slack removal, fewer windlass turns, and simplified training with single protocol application standards
• Reinforced windlass rod with increased diameter for enhanced strength and aggressive ribbing for improved grip
• Bilateral windlass clip for rapid windlass lock and bilateral buttress for added strength
• Enhanced windlass strap sonic welded to clip for constant contact providing safe windlass security and a place to document the application time
• Reinforced stabilization plate with beveled contact bar
• Signature red elliptical tip (Red Tip Technology®) provides visual cue during application
• Patented free-moving internal band for true evenly distributed circumferential pressure
