North American Rescue CAT Tourniquet (7th Gen) - Black

NSN: 6515-01-521-7976

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 C-A-T® completely occluded blood flow of an extremity in the event of a traumatic wound with significant hemorrhage. As such, it's the official tourniquet of the U.S. Army

Gen 7 is the latest version, featuring a NEW Single Routing Buckle for faster application, decreased blood loss, effective slack removal, fewer windlass turns, and simplified training with single protocol application standards. Improved parts include a reinforced windlass, stabilization plate, windlass clip and writeable windlass security strap. Still features NAR's signature Red Tip Technology® elliptical tab providing added visual clues during application
