Official Tourniquet of the U.S. Army. Battlefield injuries leave soldiers without a way to control hemorrhaging. The CAT quickly controls life-threatening extremity bleeding. Designed by a former soldier, the Combat Applications Tourniquet (C-A-T®), has proven 100% effective in all trials to quickly and effectively occlude arterial blood flow in both the upper and lower extremities. Awarded as one of the "Top 10 Greatest Inventions" by the U.S. Army. Not available for export.

• Tested by the U.S. Army's Institute of Surgical Research:
• C-A-T® completely occluded blood flow of an extremity in the event of a traumatic wound with significant hemorrhage
• Proven to be 100% effective in occluding blood flow in both upper and lower extremities by the U.S. Army's Institute of Surgical Research
• Durable windlass system with a free-moving internal band provides true circumferential pressure to the extremity
• Once adequately tightened, bleeding will cease and the windlass is locked into place
• A hook-and-loop strap is then applied, securing the windlass to maintain pressure during casualty evacuation
