Despite the proven effectiveness of the Combat Application Tourniquet®, the new C-A-T^® GEN7 goes even further toward making it easier and faster to use. All six components of the Combat Application Tourniquet® have been re-designed and improved on the C-A-T^® GEN7.

Haemhorrage Control in Combat Situations

The Combat Application Tourniquet (C-A-T) generation 7 is a true one-handed tourniquet that completely occludes arterial and venous blood flow of an extremity in the event of a traumatic wound with significant haemorrhage.

The C-A-T® uses a windlass system with a free moving internal band to provide true circumferential pressure to the extremity. Once tightened and bleeding has stopped, the windlass is locked in place.

A Velcro© strap is then applied for further securing of the windlass during casualty evacuation.
