Combat Application Tourniquet (CAT) - Gen 7 (Orange/Black)
The Combat Application Tourniquet®, introduced to U.S. Army in 2005 is a true one-handed tourniquet, widely credited with decreasing mortality rates due to extremity exsanguination by 85%. After an exhaustive study, the U.S. Army Institute of Research deemed it to be 100% effective.
Following extensive field reviews, the CAT GEN7 has been completely re-designed, making it the most effective Combat Application Tourniquet to date. The new CAT GEN7 is simpler to use thanks to a single application protocol, single buckle routing system and further improvements to its components and construction.
Features:
* Single Routing Buckle
* Faster application and effective slack removal resulting in decreased blood loss and fewer windlass turns to achieve arterial occlusion
* Simplified training with single protocol directions for all applications
* Windlass Rod
* Increased diameter for enhanced strength
* Aggressive ribbing for improved grip
* Windlass Clip
* Bilateral beveled entry for rapid windlass lock
* Bilateral buttress for added strength
* Windlass Strap
* Sonic welded to clip for constant contact
* Color changed to Gray for tactical considerations (Black CAT Only)
* Stabilization Bar
* Reinforced, beveled contact bar maintains the plate's integrity and decreases skin pinching
Proven to be 100% effective in occluding blood flow in both upper & lower extremities by the U.S. Army's Institute of Surgical Research
