Combat Application Tourniquet®(C-A-T ® )By North American Rescue

The Combat Application Tourniquet (C-A-T) is designed to be a fast, safe and effective prehospital treatment to stop traumatic hemorrhaging. It is proven to be 100% effective in occluding blood flow by the U.S. Army’s Institute of Surgical Research.

The Gen 7 C-A-T tourniquet can be used one-handed. It has a durable windlass system with a patented free-moving internal band providing true circumferential pressure to the extremity. Once tightened, a patient’s 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 C-A-T’s unique dual securing system avoids the use of screws and clips which can become difficult to operate under survival stress or where fine motor skills are compromised.

The tourniquet is available in orange for EMS and black for military; there is also a blue trainer option. Each C-A-T tourniquet is latex-free and made in the USA.
