About C-A-T Combat Tourniquet
The patented C-A-T (Combat Application Tourniquet) is a one-handed tourniquet, proven 100% effective by the U.S. Army’s Institute of Surgical Research. It is designed to completely occlude blood flow to an extremity in the event of a traumatic wound with significant hemorrhaging. The Gen 7 C-A-T features a durable windlass system with a patented free-moving internal band to provide consistent circumferential pressure. Once tightened, the windlass locks securely in place with a hook-and-loop retention strap to maintain pressure during casualty evacuation. Its dual securing system avoids screws or clips, ensuring ease of use under high-stress conditions when fine motor skills may be impaired.
