El torniquete de aplicación de combate (CAT) Gen. 7 patentado es un verdadero torniquete de una mano que ha demostrado ser 100% efectivo según el Instituto de Investigación Quirúrgica del Ejército de EE. UU. Numerosas pruebas realizadas por distintos laboratorios durante varios años han demostrado que el CAT® puede obstruir completamente el flujo sanguíneo de una extremidad en caso de una herida traumática con una hemorragia importante.

El torniquete de aplicación de combate (CAT) se opera girando un sistema de molinete duradero que contiene una banda interna patentada de libre movimiento. Se ha demostrado que esta combinación proporciona las características de fuerza física necesarias para ocluir el flujo sanguíneo. Esta fuerza también se conoce como presión circunferencial verdadera en la extremidad.

Una vez que el torniquete esté adecuadamente apretado, el sangrado cesará y el molinete podrá fijarse en su lugar utilizando los clips de retención bilaterales. El torniquete también cuenta con una correa de retención del molinete que se asegura mediante un gancho y un bucle sobre los clips de retención. Esta correa también se puede utilizar para marcar el momento de aplicación del torniquete para un adecuado manejo médico en el centro de atención definitiva.

El exclusivo sistema de seguridad dual del torniquete de aplicación de combate (CAT) es extremadamente fácil de usar en situaciones de estrés de supervivencia o cuando las habilidades motoras finas están comprometidas.

MEJORAS DEL PRODUCTO:

El Gen 7 cuenta con una hebilla de enrutamiento única para una aplicación más rápida, menor pérdida de sangre, eliminación efectiva de la holgura y menos vueltas del molinete. y capacitación simplificada con estándares de aplicación de protocolo único.
La varilla del molinete ha sido reforzada, ahora con un diámetro mayor para mayor resistencia y nervaduras agresivas para un mejor agarre.
El clip bilateral del molinete permite un bloqueo rápido del molinete y mayor resistencia.
La correa mejorada del molinete cambiada de blanco a gris táctico y soldada sónicamente al clip para un contacto constante que proporciona seguridad segura al molinete y un lugar para documentar el tiempo de aplicación.
La placa de estabilización ha sido reforzada con una barra de contacto biselada.
La exclusiva punta elíptica roja (Red Tip Technology®) proporciona una guía visual durante la aplicación.
El Gen 7 presenta la banda interna patentada de libre movimiento para una verdadera presión circunferencial distribuida uniformemente.

CLINICAL RATIONALE

Clinical Rationale — C-A-T Gen 7 (North American Rescue)

Why this tool matters clinically

Windlass leverage achieves rapid arterial occlusion, shrinking the shock window in limb hemorrhage.
Single-routing buckle reduces fine-motor steps under stress, improving first-pass success for self-aid and buddy-aid.
Wide band distributes force to maintain occlusion with less focal tissue stress than narrower interfaces.

Hemodynamic reasoning

Effective control requires compressing the injured artery against bone at pressures exceeding systolic; windlass torque translates to strap tension and interface pressure.
Broad contact lowers peak pressure for a given occlusive load, supporting stability during movement and transport.

Clinical decision pathway

Apply early for life-threatening extremity hemorrhage; confirm pulse extinction, secure, time-mark, and reassess after packaging or movement.
Convert when appropriate in Tactical Field/En Route Care if bleeding control allows and protocols permit.

Evidence & Training Rationale

Prehospital TQ use is associated with improved survival when used early and correctly; complication rates remain low when appropriately indicated.
Training priorities: staging pre-routed, two- and one-hand drills, distal pulse checks, securement, time documentation, and post-movement reassessment.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is this a genuine North American Rescue CAT Gen 7?

Yes. MED-TAC sources exclusively from North American Rescue or authorized distributors. Counterfeit CATs are a documented field safety issue — they fail under tightening load. Verify authenticity via the NAR holographic label on packaging and the embossed 'C-A-T' on the windlass rod.

What is the difference between Tactical Black (30-0001) and Rescue Orange (30-0033)?

Functionally identical — same Gen 7 construction, same field performance. Orange is high-visibility for mass casualty events, EMS staging, and public AED stations where rapid identification matters. Trainer Blue (30-0023) is also fully functional but is color-coded blue for training scenarios only — not for field staging.

Can the CAT Gen 7 be applied one-handed?

Yes. It is designed for single-handed self-application. The friction buckle routes the band around the limb with one hand; the windlass turns and locks with the strong hand. Leg application is harder than arm application due to diameter — practice both during training. Evidence-based training benchmark: one-handed self-application in under 60 seconds.

How tight do I need to make it?

Tighten until distal bleeding stops and there is no palpable distal pulse. This will be painful for a conscious casualty — that is expected and correct. A tourniquet that causes no discomfort has not achieved arterial occlusion in most adult limbs. Mark the application time on the white label immediately using a permanent marker.
