Description
The Combat Application Tourniquet® is a small, light-weight, one-handed tourniquet that stops arterial blood flow in an arm or a leg. The C.A.T uses a windlass system with a patented free-moving internal band. This provides true circumferential pressure to the extremity. Once adequately tightened, bleeding will stop and the windlass is locked into place. A hook and loop windlass retention strap is then applied. This secures the windlass to maintain pressure while emergency services arrive. The C.A.T's dual securing system avoids the use of screws and clips which can become difficult to operate under when under stress or where fine motor skills are compromised.
