The Combat Application Tourniquet® is a small and light weight one-handed tourniquet that occludes arterial blood flow in an extremity. The 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 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 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.
WHO SHOULD USE A C.A.T GEN7
C.A.T Tourniquets are currently carried by Emergency First Responders in New Zealand. However more and more it is recognised that the C.A.T could be a lifesaving tool for anyone who comes across a situation where there is life-threatening bleeding. If you work in industries such as agriculture, forestry, or the building sector where there is the chance of a severe bleeding injury, we encourage you to “Carry a C.A.T”. Or if you enjoy outdoor pursuits such as hunting, having a CAT in your pack could save a life. Remember, if someone has severed a main artery they could bleed out in as little as 3 minutes.
