TacMed Australia is now stocking the Combat Application Tourniquet (C.A.T)- Gen7. It has all the great features of the Gen 6 C.A.T but has added features including the NEW Single Routing Buckle for faster application, decreased blood loss, effective slack removal, fewer windlass turns, and simplified training with single protocol application standards

The C-A-T is a small and lightweight arterial tourniquet that completely occludes blood flow in an extremity. Used for the treatment of life-threatening bleeding, the C-A-T Tourniquet uses a Self-Adhering Band and a Friction Adaptor Buckle to fit a wide range of extremities combined with a one-handed windlass system. The windlass uses a free moving internal band to provide true circumferential pressure to an extremity. The windlass is then locked in place; this requires only one hand, with the Windlass Clip. The C-A-T Tourniquet also has a Hook-and-Loop Windlass Strap for further securing of the windlass during patient transport.

Note - Blue colour option is traditionally used as a training version.

Features:

• Proven Performance: Field-tested and approved by the U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research.
