TacMed Australia now stocks the Combat Application Tourniquet (C.A.T) – Gen 7, the latest generation of the world-renowned bleeding control device. Building on the trusted Gen 6 design, the Gen 7 introduces a new single routing buckle for faster application, reduced blood loss, and fewer windlass turns — simplifying training and real-world use with a single protocol standard.
The C-A-T is a compact, lightweight arterial tourniquet designed to fully occlude blood flow in a limb. It features a self-adhering band and friction adaptor buckle for broad size compatibility, and a durable one-handed windlass system that delivers true circumferential pressure. Once tightened, the windlass is secured with a Windlass Clip and reinforced with a Hook-and-Loop Strap, ensuring stability during patient movement.
Note: The blue colour variant is typically used for training purposes.
