The patented Combat Application Tourniquet (C-A-T) Gen. 7 is a true one-handed tourniquet proven to be 100% effective by the U.S. Army’s Institute of Surgical Research. Numerous tests held by various laboratories over several years have proved that the C-A-T® can completely occlude blood flow of an extremity in the event of a traumatic wound with significant hemorrhage.The Combat Application Tourniquet (C-A-T) is operated by turning a durable windlass system that contains a patented free-moving internal band. This combination has been proven to provide the physical force characteristics necessary to occlude blood flow. This force is also known as true circumferential pressure to the extremity.
Once the tourniquet is adequately tightened, bleeding will cease and the windlass can then be locked into place using the bilateral retaining clips. The tourniquet also features a windlass retention strap that secures via hook and loop over the retaining clips. This strap can also be used to mark the tourniquet's application time for proper medical management at the definitive care facility.
The Combat Application Tourniquet (C-A-T) unique dual securing system is extremely easy to use under survival stress or where fine motor skills are compromised. PRODUCT ENHANCEMENTS:
