CAT is short for Combat Application Tourniquet. It quickly controls bleeding. The patented C-A-T® is a true one-handed tourniquet proven to be 100% effective by the U.S. Army&rsquos Institute of Surgical Research. Tests proved that the C-A-T® completely occluded blood flow of an extremity in the event of a traumatic wound with a significant hemorrhage.
The C-A-T® 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 C-A-T®&rsquos unique dual securing system avoids the use of screws and clips which can become difficult to operate under survival stress or when fine motor skills are compromised.
