- The C-A-T is a true one-handed tourniquet proven to be 100% effective by the Army.
- Tests proved that the C-A-T completely occluded blood flow of an extremity in the event of a traumatic wound with significant hemorrhage.
The C-A-T utilizes a durable windlass system with a 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 strap is then applied, securing the windlass to maintain pressure during casualty evacuation. The C-A-T’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.
Product Enhancements:
Windlass rod is twice as strong as before with an increased diameter and improved grip
Reinforced windlass clip & highly visible security tab includes a writeable area to record the time of application
