CAT Tourniquet
CAT Tourniquet, DescriptionThe patented C-A-TA(R) Generation 7 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 C-A-TA(R) Gen7 completely occluded blood flow of an extremity in the event of a traumatic wound with significant hemorrhage.The C-A-TA(R) Gen7 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-TA(R)'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.Official Tourniquet of the U.S. Army since 2005Proven to be 100% effective in occluding blood flow in both upper & lower extremities by the U.S. Army's Institute of Surgical ResearchSingle Routing Buckle for faster application, decreased blood loss, effective slack removal, fewer windlass turns, and simplified training with single protocol application standardsIncludes reinforced windlass, stabilization plate, windlass clip and writeable windlass security strapFeaturing NAR's signature Red Tip TechnologyA(R) elliptical tab providing added visual clues during applicationReinforced windlass rod with increased diameter for enhanced strength and aggressive ribbing for improved grip *By ordering My MedicA(R) First Aid Kits you warrant that you have the required training and authorization to use the medical supplies contained within.
