Special Features:  Awarded as one of the “Top 10 Greatest Inventions” by the U.S. Army  Official Tourniquet of the U.S. Army  Used by both conventional and Special Operation forces  Proven to be 100% effective in occluding blood flow in both upper & lower extremities by U.S. Army’s Institute of Surgical Research  True, one-handed application tourniquet  Quickly controls life-threatening extremity bleeding  Recommended by the Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care  Designed to perform in all weather conditions  Small and cost-effective 

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 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. 

WARNING: This product is intended for qualified personnel trained in the application of a tourniquet. Inappropriate application can result in serious injury or loss of limb. The use of any tourniquet is A LAST RESORT and should only be employed when bleeding cannot be stopped and the situation is life threatening.
