Noted 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 proved that the CAT completely occluded blood flow of an extremity in the event of a traumatic wound with significant hemorrhage.

The Gen 7 CAT utilizes 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 CAT’s unique dual securing system avoids the use of screws and clips which can become difficult to operate under survival stress or where fine motor skills are compromised.

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.

    Another product that I hope I never have to test, but it seems on par with other tourniquet systems. Glad to have it in the toolbox.

    Hope it never has to come in handy

    Luckily I haven’t had to use it but it’s comforting to know it’s right there in my park pack.

    Quality tourniquet

    This is a quality piece of emergency gear. I had a wonderful experience with customer service who helped me greatly and went above and beyond to provide me with the best experience possible. I cannot rave enough about the staff at Uncharted Supply Co and their dedication to providing care to their customers.
