Noted as the best prehospital tourniquet in the February 2008
supplement of The Journal of Trauma The patented C-A-T® 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 CAT completely occluded blood flow of an
extremity in the event of a traumatic wound with significant hemorrhage. The Gen
7 CAT 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. - Manufacturer: North American Rescue
