CAT Tourniquet
CAT Tourniquet
The patented C-A-T® Generation 7 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® Gen7 completely occluded blood flow of an extremity in the event of a traumatic wound with significant hemorrhage.
The C-A-T® Gen7 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 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.

Ordered to replace aging TQ. Arrived within a week.
This is a very good product and of great quality. Easy to follow instructions and I know it will save a life if I have to use it on anyone, including myself or family members.
Well cant really review them since someone kinda needs to loose a limb first. Hopefully ill never need them but better to be prepared. They seem to be great quality though.
