The Combat Application Tourniquet®, introduced to the US Army in 2005 is a true one-handed tourniquet, widely credited with decreasing mortality rates due to extremity exsanguination by 85%. After an exhaustive study, the US Army of Institute Research deemed it to be 100% effective.
Now, C-A-T Resources has developed the C-A-T Gen 7. Following extensive field reviews, the C-A-T Gen 7 has been completely redesigned, making it the most effective Combat Application Tourniquet to date. The new Gen 7 is simpler to use thanks to a single application protocol, single buckle routing system and further improvements to its components and construction.
Features:
- Single Routing Buckle
- Faster application and effective slack removal resulting in decreased blood loss and fewer windlass turns to achieve arterial occlusion
- Simplified training with single protocol directions for all applications
- Windlass Rod
- Increased diameter for enhanced strength
- Aggressive ribbing for improved grip
- Windlass Clip
- Bilateral beveled entry for rapid windlass lock
- Bilateral buttress for added strength
- Stabilization Bar
- Reinforced, beveled contact bar maintains the plate's integrity and decreases skin pinching
- 6.5"H x 2.4"W x 1.5"D (packaged)
- 37.5"H (open)
Proven to be 100% effective occluding blood flow in both upper & lower extremities by the US Army's Institute of Surgical research
