Product Overview
Product SKU: NAR30-0033
Discover the patented C-A-T® Tourniquet, a life-saving device rigorously tested and proven 100% effective by the U.S. Army's Institute of Surgical Research. This advanced tourniquet is engineered to completely occlude blood flow in traumatic extremity wounds with significant hemorrhage, making it an essential piece of tactical gear.
The latest Generation 7 CAT features a robust windlass system incorporating a patented free-moving internal band, ensuring true circumferential pressure to the limb. Once applied and tightened to stop bleeding, the windlass securely locks into place. A hook and loop strap then secures the windlass, maintaining critical pressure during casualty evacuation. Unlike systems with screws or clips that can fail under duress, the CAT's unique dual securing system is designed for reliable operation even when fine motor skills are compromised.
The Combat Application Tourniquet® (C-A-T®), officially recognized as the U.S. Army's tourniquet since 2005, is distinguished by its proprietary red tip design and the mechanical advantage of its band-within-a-band technology. These innovations are protected by U.S. Patent Nos. 7,842,067 and 7,892,253.
Key features include:
- Single Routing Buckle: Enables faster application, minimizes blood loss, efficiently removes slack, and requires fewer windlass turns.
- Reinforced Windlass Rod: Features an increased diameter for superior strength and aggressive ribbing for enhanced grip.
- Bilateral Windlass Clip: Allows for rapid windlass locking, complemented by a bilateral buttress for added structural integrity.
- Reinforced Stabilization Plate: Includes a beveled contact bar for optimal performance.
- Signature Red Elliptical Tip (Red Tip Technology®): Provides a clear visual indicator during application, ensuring correct usage.
- Patented Free-Moving Internal Band: Guarantees true, evenly distributed circumferential pressure for maximum effectiveness.
