COMBAT APPLICATION TOURNIQUET (C-A-T)

The Combat Application Tourniquet® (C-A-T®) is the world-leading prehospital tourniquet engineered for speed, simplicity, and reliability in the most demanding environments. It’s the Official Tourniquet of the U.S. Army and has been proven by the U.S. Army’s Institute of Surgical Research to be 100% effective at occluding blood flow in both upper and lower extremities, making it a trusted choice for military, tactical medics, EMS, law enforcement, and civilian responders. 

Built around a reinforced windlass and a patented free-moving internal band that delivers true circumferential pressure, the C-A-T® provides fast, one-handed application and secure retention so rescuers can stop life-threatening extremity hemorrhage quickly and confidently. The Gen-7 updates include a single-routing buckle for faster application and NAR’s signature Red Tip Technology® for visual cueing during placement.
