Combat Application Tourniquet (C-A-T)

The fastest, safest, most effective prehospital tourniquet!

Exceeds the new ANSI/ISEA Z308.1-2021 Standard for tourniquets!

Recognized as the best prehospital tourniquet in the February 2008 supplement of The Journal of Trauma, the patented C-A-T is a true one-handed tourniquet proven to be 100% effective by the U.S. Army's Institute of Surgical Research. Tests showed that the CAT completely occluded blood flow of an extremity in the event of a traumatic wound with significant hemorrhage. The Gen 7 CAT uses 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 patented Combat Application Tourniquet (C-A-T) featuring the proprietary red tip design and the mechanical advantage of a band within a band has been the Official Tourniquet of the U.S. Army since 2005. The innovations in the CAT are protected by U.S. Patent Nos. 7,842,067 and 7,892,253. This tourniquet is essential for any first aid kit, ensuring safety and effectiveness in emergency situations.
