CAT – Combat Application Tourniquet    

Description:
A true one-handed tourniquet proven to be 100% effective in quickly and effectively occluding arterial blood flow in both upper and lower extremities in all trials by the U.S  Institute of Surgical Research.
The C-A-T® uses a Self-Adhering Band and a Friction Adaptor Buckle to fit a wide range of extremities combined with a one-handed windlass system. The windlass uses a free moving internal band to provide true circumferential pressure to an extremity. The windlass is then locked in place and this requires only one hand, with the Windlass Clip™. The C-A-T® also has a Hook-and-Loop Windlass Strap™ for further securing of the windlass during patient transport
The CAT can be used by both conventional military and and Special Operation forces, Law enforcement, EMS and fire departments.
