North American Rescue Combat Application Tourniquet

Features

1. Official U.S. Army Issue — The Gen 7 CAT is the most widely fielded tourniquet in combat theaters and the official tourniquet of the U.S. Army.
2. True Circumferential Pressure — Patented free-moving internal band delivers full 360-degree pressure around the extremity to fully occlude arterial blood flow.
3. Single Routing Buckle — Streamlined buckle design enables fast one- or two-handed application, effective slack removal, and fewer windlass turns under stress.
4. Reinforced Windlass Rod — Stronger windlass with a conical aluminum handle stands up to aggressive tightening without bending or breaking.
5. Dual Securing System — Locks the windlass without screws or clips, preserving function when fine motor skills are compromised by injury or cold.
6. Gray Time Stamp Strip — Integrated write-on area lets responders record the exact application time for downstream medical providers.
7. Compact, Packable Size — Stowed dimensions of 6.5 in. x 2.4 in. x 1.5 in. and a 2.7 oz. weight fit cleanly in IFAKs, plate carriers, and ankle kits.
8. 37.5 in. Open Length — A 1.5 in. wide strap with full open length accommodates upper and lower extremity placement on adults.
9. Proven Field Performance — Validated by the U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research as 100% effective in occluding blood flow in upper and lower extremities.
10. Made in the USA — Manufactured by North American Rescue, the original CAT designer and the standard against which other tourniquets are measured.
