CAT Tourniquet

C-A-T® Generation 7: The Gold Standard in Hemorrhage Control The patented Combat Application Tourniquet (C-A-T®) Generation 7 is a true one-handed life-saving device, proven to be 100% effective by the U.S. Army’s Institute of Surgical Research. This essential piece of emergency medical gear is engineered to completely occlude blood flow in extremities during traumatic injuries with significant hemorrhage. Advanced Engineering for Critical Situations The C-A-T® Gen7 features a durable windlass system paired with a patented free-moving internal band, providing true circumferential pressure. This innovative design ensures that once the windlass is adequately tightened and locked into the retention strap, pressure is maintained securely even during casualty evacuation. Reliable Performance Under Stress Designed for maximum reliability, the C-A-T® utilizes a unique dual securing system that eliminates the need for complex screws or clips. This ensures the device remains easy to operate even under extreme survival stress or when fine motor skills are compromised, making it a vital component for any first aid kit.
