Rigid Gen. 7 CAT Tourniquet Case w/Cover

North American Rescue — Duty-Belt Tourniquet Carrier

An injection-molded hard case for the C-A-T® Gen 7, finished with a one-piece Hypalon cover that fully encapsulates the tourniquet on a duty, patrol, or pistol belt. The cover seals out dirt, moisture, and UV through a full shift, then snaps cleanly away the instant the tourniquet is drawn — no snag, no fumble. Blade-Tech TekLok mounts it vertical or horizontal on belts up to 2.25″, and the same pattern fits Safariland drop-leg shrouds. Five finishes, including LE-matching Navy Blue. Tourniquet sold separately.

A tourniquet carried open on a duty belt takes a beating: dust and lint pack into the windlass, moisture and sweat work the webbing, UV slowly fades the strap — and on a dress belt the exposed hardware simply looks unkempt. An officer who has to choose between protecting the tourniquet and keeping it instantly drawable usually compromises one of them.

How do you keep a duty tourniquet clean, protected, and presentable without slowing the draw?

This case is built for exactly that. The body is the same injection-molded nylon as the Eleven 10® RIGID TQ Case line, holding the Gen 7 C-A-T® by friction with no straps or buckles to defeat. Over it sits a one-piece Hypalon cover — a tough, abrasion- and weather-resistant synthetic — that fully wraps the tourniquet to block dirt, moisture, and UV exposure while it rides on the belt. The cover is engineered to release: pull the tourniquet and it snaps cleanly off the case body, so encapsulation never costs you access. The result is the cleanest, most professional presentation on a duty or patrol belt, which matters for departments that hold officers to a neat uniform standard. Mounting runs through a Blade-Tech TekLok that fits belts up to 2.25″ and positions vertical or horizontal; the standard two-screw pattern also mates directly to a Safariland drop-leg shroud with no adapter. A hook-and-loop medical cross identifier is included so the tourniquet reads instantly as emergency equipment to any teammate or bystander who needs to grab it. Manufactured by Eleven 10® for North American Rescue, with Navy Blue offered for agencies whose uniform standards call for a navy color match.

Protected, Presentable, Instantly There.

When To Use It

• context: Uniformed patrol officer carries a CAT Gen 7 on duty belt daily — Hypalon cover protects from shift-long dust, moisture, and UV without obscuring the identifier.
• context: Tactical team entry — snap-away cover releases instantly on draw; no fumble, no delay accessing the tourniquet under adrenaline.
• context: Safariland drop-leg holster setup — direct 2-screw mount co-locates the tourniquet with the sidearm for one-stop injury response.
• context: Agency with navy-uniform dress code — Navy Blue finish matches LE dress belt standards while keeping a CoTCCC-recommended tourniquet on the officer.

How It Compares

Rigid case w/ cover vs. soft tourniquet pouch: Soft pouches protect against incidental contact but compress the tourniquet and can snag the windlass on draw. The rigid case maintains shape under load and the cover releases cleanly. See all tourniquet pouches.

Covered vs. open rigid case: The open Rigid Gen 7 Case offers faster bare-hand access; the covered version adds environmental sealing and uniform cleanliness at the cost of one snap-away step. Choose based on environment and dress requirements.

TekLok vs. MOLLE attachment: TekLok mounts to any belt up to 2.25″ vertically or horizontally; MOLLE-only cases require a plate carrier or vest. The TekLok version works on the duty belt without additional hardware. See hemorrhage control collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the Rigid Gen 7 CAT Case w/ Cover CoTCCC-recommended?

A: The case is a carrier accessory, not a medical device; it holds the C-A-T® Gen 7 tourniquet, which is CoTCCC-recommended for extremity hemorrhage control. Pairing the CoTCCC-recommended tourniquet with a rigid case maintains the device in duty-ready condition.

Q: What training is recommended to carry this case?

A: Any provider carrying a tourniquet should complete a TCCC or Stop The Bleed-equivalent course to ensure competent application under stress. The case does not change the application technique — it changes how the tourniquet is stored and drawn.

Q: Does the cover interfere with one-handed tourniquet application?

A: No. The cover is designed to snap away the instant the tourniquet is pulled from the case body, so the draw motion itself removes the cover. One-handed self-application is not impeded.

Q: What is the NSN or procurement path for this case?

A: Available through MED-TAC International via direct purchase. For DoD/agency procurement, contact NAR or check GSA Advantage for current contract vehicle status.

Q: Can I use this case with a CAT Gen 6 tourniquet?

A: The case is purpose-dimensioned for the C-A-T® Gen 7. The Gen 7 introduced dimensional changes from Gen 6. NAR and Eleven 10® designate this as a Gen 7-specific case; for older CAT generations, a soft pouch with dimensional flexibility is recommended.
