Description

The Combat Application Tourniquet® (CAT), introduced to U.S. Army in 2005 is a true one-handed tourniquet, widely credited with decreasing mortality rates due to extremity exsanguination by 85%. After an exhaustive study, the U.S. Army Institute of Research deemed it to be 100% effective.

Now, C•A•T Resources has developed the C•A•T GEN7. Following extensive field reviews, the C•A•T GEN7 has been completely re-designed, making it the most effective Combat Application Tourniquet to date. The new GEN7 is simpler to use thanks to a single application protocol, single buckle routing system and further improvements to its components and construction.

Features

  • Faster application and effective slack removal resulting in decreased blood loss and fewer windlass turns to achieve arterial occlusion
  • Simplified training with single protocol directions for all applications

Windlass Rod

  • Increased diameter for enhanced strength
  • Aggressive ribbing for improved grip

Windlass Clip

  • Bilateral beveled entry for rapid windlass lock

  • Color changed to Gray for tactical considerations (Black C-A-T Only)

Stabilization Bar

  • Reinforced, beveled contact bar maintains the plate’s integrity and decreases skin pinching

Proven to be 100% effective in occluding blood flow in both upper & lower extremities by the U.S. Army’s Institute of Surgical Research
