Product Overview
Product Description
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 C-A-T® completely occluded blood flow of an extremity in the event of a traumatic wound with significant hemorrhage.
The Gen 7 C-A-T® utilizes a durable windlass system with a patented free-moving internal band providing true circumferential pressure to the extremity. Once adequately tightened, bleeding ceases and the windlass locks 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 C-A-T® are protected by U.S. Patent Nos. 7,842,067 and 7,892,253.
