Single routing buckle decreases blood loss, providing effective slack removal, meaning fewer windlass turns
Since its combat introduction by the U.S. Army in 2005, the Combat Application Tourniquet® – a true one-handed tourniquet – has decreased the mortality rate due to extreme exsanguination by 85%. The U.S. Army Institute of Research deemed it to be 100% effective.
Now, CAT Resources has developed the all-new CAT® GEN7. Following extensive field reviews, the CAT® GEN7 has been completely re-designed, making it the most effective Combat Application Tourniquet® to date.
Easier use ensures ssimplified training with single protocol application standards
Windlass rod with increased diameter, enhanced strength and ribbing to the surface improves grip
Windlass clip for bilateral beveled entry with rapid windlass lock for added strength
Reinforced stabilisation plate with beveled contact bar, improvees patient and user comfort
Free-moving internal band provides truly even distribution of circumferential pressure
The C.A.T® must NOT be applied over solid objects within the clothing
As soon as the situation permits, the injured limb should be evaluated and the C.A.T® re-positioned 2”-3” above the injury directly to the skin
